Wilson offers thoughts on church shooting


In his weekly column for the Newton County News and Neosho Daily News, Rep. Kevin Wilson, R-Neosho expressed shock and sorrow at the triple murder at the First Congregational Church in Neosho Sunday:

As someone said, we will get past this event and grow together as a community. But, we will never forget Aug. 12, 2007, when the invisible walls of security surrounding our quiet area of the world came crashing down around us but we will also remember the quick and compassionate response of the community. I appreciate the outpouring of support but remind everyone that we must continue to lift up those affected by the tragedy in the coming days as they put to rest their loved ones and grieve over a lost innocence from which we will never fully recover.
