Sad story. What kinda coverage is this getting down by you, Locke?
It seems like a lot has happened in the KC area and Wburg area lately... Just Friday there was a gunman at Wburg High School, just about a month ago a couple burned a baby in a cave in Wburg... I don't know what is in the water up there but stay away from it! Glad I moved away..
