Attempted Murder in Big Stone County

Thanks for putting the reports in the gallery. I appreciate your efforts to keep this terrible event factual. It is worth it to read the actual reports.

I have heard numerous stories the past two days of what happened and so this helps to set the record straight.

It is so sad to have this happen in our community. It was also encouraging to read about how professionally law enforcement handled the situation. Obviously their hard work and training has paid off. You did good, thanks.

It is encouraging also to see the way that people responded when the crisis was upon them. One man did something that was bad, but numerous people stepped in and did good. Sometimes it helps to remember that there are more "good guys" out there than "bad guys."

Lady Hawk has said it best - law enforcement, medical personnel, and others kept calm, and did what they were trained to do.

Gone are the days when kids would go out and ride bike down the street and your parents said "be home in time for supper". Or, if someone in a car stopped you, they were lost and looking for directions, not trying to harm you. Being a child in this day, isn't what it was when I was a kid.

Our prayers are with all the families.

Law enforcement and child protection have been watching this gentlement closely for over a year. Big Stone County officials were on top of this one.

I have attempted to interview the county attorney and county sheriff and hopefully they will consent next week.
