Wow, got home from dinner tonight and the news is filled with information about Charles Lee "Cookie" Thornton who apparently went nuts at Kirkwood City Hall this evening shooting 7 or more people and killing from what they say 5. Where is Kirkwood in relationion to where I live? Not far, I actually have been to the building where the shootings occured, a few times. I used to live in Kirkwood. Our office in Des Peres is in the city that borders Kirkwood.
