One Dead In Springfield House Fire
On Thursday Emergency Services were called to a house fire in the 3500 block of North Thistlewood Court in Springfield.
One person who’s identity has not yet been released was found dead inside the home after the blaze was extinguished. The Greene County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating the scene as a “suspicious fire”.
Charges have been filed in a shooting in a Walmart parking lot earlier this week.
The Greene County Prosecutors’ Office has charged 18-year-old Rominn Wagner with assault and two counts of armed criminal action.
He is in the Greene County Jail without bond.
The shooting occurred on the parking lot of the Walmart on north Kansas Expressway near Kearney.
On a very wintry-like day, it’s time to prepare for spring-time severe weather.
The annual Statewide Tornado Drill takes place at 11:00am Wednesday.
The National Weather Service asks you to treat the drill as if were an actual tornado warning and review your plan for taking shelter.
The drill is to test everyone’s readiness for life-threatening severe weather events, such as tornadoes, flash floods, and damaging winds.
Many school districts and businesses will be taking part in the tornado drill.
