MINNESOTA REPUBLICAN ARE PROPOSING A BILL TO ALTER A LAW THAT IS PROMPTING THE REMOVAL OF SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS. THEY WOULD LIKE A SPECIAL SESSION CALLED, BUT GOVERNOR WALZ SAID ITS LIKELY THEY’LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE REGULAR LEGISLATIVE SESSION TO AMEND IT. THE CLAUSE IN THE BILL MADE IT A LITTLE LESS CLEAR AS TO WHAT ACTIONS SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS SHOULD TAKE AND IN WHAT SORT OF SITUATIONS, MAKING THEM MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO LEGAL ACTION SHOULD SOMETHING HAPPEN.
IF TRAVELING TO, OR THROUGH GRAND FORKS, DON’T EXIT THE INTERSTATE AT GATEWAY DRIVE TO GAS UP… AT LEAST NOT AT THE STAMART. THE TRUCK STOP ABRUPTLY CLOSED ON AUGUST 24 AMID BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS FOR IT’S OWNER, MOUNTAIN EXPRESS OIL CO. THEY HAD 18 OTHER LOCATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT WERE ALSO AFFECTED.
ON MONDAY, A 7-YEAR OLD IN BROOKLYN PARK FOUND A LOADED HANDGUN IN THE HOME AND INJURED HIS 9-YEAR OLD BROTHER AFTER FIRING IN HIS DIRECTION. THE INJURIES WERE NON-LIFE THREATENING. IT IS THE THIRD REPORTED OCCASION THIS MONTH THAT A CHILD HAS FOUND AND FIRED A LOADED GUN, THE PREVIOUS TWO WERE FATAL.
A Memorial Service for Kevin Bergeron will be held Saturday, September 2, 2023 at 12:00 (noon) at the Helgeson’s Funeral Home in Warroad with visitation two hours prior to the services
