Covering the Neosho Shooting

This thread will be updated throughout the evening with coverage notes as I have them.

**10 pm update**

KSN promises team coverage and begins with a taped report by Chris Warner. After a break for weather, KSN has the Chief of Police with Jim Jackson and Tiffany Alaniz live on the scene. They are getting new information quickly and accurately. This is the most informative update thus far. The suspect apparently let the children out of the church before beginning shooting. The prosecutor talked to Tiffany Alaniz and detailed initial charges that will likely be charged in the morning.

KOAM begins with a report from Mike Corcoran in the newsroom. No one else is covering this story for KOAM.

KYTV has team coverage. Chad Plein is leading the coverage live from Neosho. Marie Saevedra is confirming that the shooter was of Pacific Islander descent. She also has eyewitnesses. They will air the press conference live tomorrow morning at 10:30.

KSPR-33 has no live person on the scene. KODE's Ashlin Fleeman is covering the story for that channel.


**9:30 update** Mary Beth Brush reports on FOX 27 that the shooter may have been related to a member of the congregation.

KY3 has Marie Saevedra in Neosho.
KOLR 10 has Mary Beth Brush on the scene.

FOX 27 is leading with the story with details and video. Nothing new to report here. They are reading a statement from MO Gov. Matt Blunt.
