"The meeting had just started when the shooter opened fire, said Janet McNichols, a reporter covering the meeting for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The gunman killed one officer outside City Hall, then walked into the council chambers, shot another and continued pulling the trigger, Panus said. A witness said the gunman yelled "Shoot the mayor!" as he fired shots in the chambers.

As the man fired at City Attorney John Hessel, Hessel tried to fight off the attacker by throwing chairs, McNichols said. The shooter then moved behind the desk where the council sits and fired more shots at council members.

"We crawled under the chairs and just laid there," McNichols told ABC's "Good Morning America." "We heard Cookie shooting, and then we heard some shouting, and the police, the Kirkwood police had heard what was going on, and they ran in, and they shot him."

See 571.107 (5) at http://www.moga.mo.gov/statutes/C500-599/5710000107.HTM If only government (legislators, executives, judges, law enforcement and/or military) can have firearms somewhere, it's a Gun Free Zone. When only government CAN have guns, but DON'T - it's the worst kind of GFS.
 
Oops - Dupe.

I thought "Another Mass Shooting in a...yep..."Gun-Free Zone" was in Mass (as in -achusettes) before I read the post.

Maybe a little more info in titles would help in scanning...but my bad.
