Springfield Police told News Center 7’s Xavier Hershovitz that officers showed up and found a man in his 30s who had been shot and killed after a party.
“The last 10 years, this town’s been going straight to hell,” said Rex Couch. “All these young kids, they don’t see it. Try to talk to them, it doesn’t matter.”
Then, around 2:30 p.m., a car crashed into a home at the corner of South Limestone Street and East Euclid Avenue.
The driver was found shot and pronounced dead at the scene. Medics transported another person to an area hospital.
