Schweich was taken to a St. Louis-area hospital Thursday after what his office initially described as "a medical situation" that occurred at his home in Clayton.
Earlier, a police source said Schweich had sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound, but the initial statement from Schweich's office said only that he was being treated.
"He is receiving treatment at a local hospital," the earlier statement said. "We ask for respect and privacy for him and his family during this time."
Wow, so sad. And he was coming here to announce the audit results Tuesday.....
ReplyDeletePraying for his family! This seems very convenient for joplin power players though. Wouldn't be the first they've handled for threatening their livelyhood now would it.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds too fishy. This doesn't make sense. Who did this to him? Who has something to hide in that report?
ReplyDeleteIf you have to ask "who has something to hide?" You have been out of town without any type of communication.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the beginning of a new "fiction" novel.

Hell on Earth.
A story about a school district so corrupt it will do what ever it takes to keep their name clean.
His staff that works with him on these audits are more than capable of presenting their findings...I'm very much saddened when anyone commits suicide, he seemed to have put plans in motion for a promising future.
