Gunshots on Lindsay Lane: True or False?
A Patch reader says she heard gunshots on Lindsay Lane on Wednesday, but Florissant Police call the report unfounded.
Florissant Patch received a tip from a reader Wednesday regarding an incident she said happened on Lindsay Lane around 1 p.m. "There were gunshots," the reader wrote. "I heard around 5 shots fired." She added that she had been trying to find out what happened, since she lives one street over from Lindsay and was concerned for her family's safety. "When I called the police, they said they already knew about it," the tipster said. Patch contacted Florissant Police officer Andy Haarman, who said the department investigated the incident but it was "unfounded." "No guns, no witnesses, no bullets and no damage," Haarman added.

I didn't realize that he shot his way in, Stacey! That is insane. I like your idea of an emergency button. I do know that local school kids are doing intruder drills (much like we did fire and tornado drills back in the day) and have been for awhile. I'm sure they also probably have other precautions in place and will be stepping it up even more now. I totally agree, it starts at home. I did hear… more ›

Florissant Man Used Gasoline to Start Home Explosion, Suicide Was Motive
Florissant police offered updates on the case Monday.
Kirk Sayles, the man who died in a Sunday morning house explosion he apparently caused himself, used gasoline to set off the blast, according to a report from KMOV.
