State investigation targets St. Louis County Executive's office
CLAYTON, Mo. – The Missouri State Highway Patrol showed up unannounced to the St. Louis County Executive's office on Monday to gather evidence as part of a state investigation. 'The Missouri State Highway Patrol's Division of Drug and Crime Control is completing an investigation at the request of the Missouri Attorney General's Office,' Lt. Eric Brown, assistant director of the MSHP Public Information Division, said. But MSHP or the Attorney General's office did not say what they were investigating. St. Louis County Councilwoman Rita Heard Days says she is also in the dark. She said she showed up for a meeting on Monday with County Executive Sam Page, but Page was not there. 1 dead, 1 critically injured after altercation at north STL Wendy's 'There was one quick question about where is the county executive and was a warrant served. One person said yes; the other said no,' Days said. Page's office did not return FOX 2's request for comment on Tuesday. 'We have received nothing from the county executive's office. We have received nothing from the administration as to what has happened,' Days said. She said she thinks it is likely related to the use of public funds on election mailers. FOX 2 reported back in April that the county executive was billed about $5,000 to pay for Prop B postcards; the ballot measure that would give the county council the ability to remove department heads.

The St. Louis County Courts confirmed that Attorney General Andrew Bailey was appointed as special prosecutor on this investigation, but it could not confirm if a subpoena or search warrant was served at Page's office on Monday related to that case. FOX 2 News has obtained a letter from Councilwoman Shalonda Webb's office to Page demanding answers. The letter says that if Page does not provide the council a copy of a subpoena or warrant served at his office, then she will seek a vote of the council to issue a subpoena for the information.

Gov. Tim Walz calls special elections for 2 vacant Senate seats
Gov. Tim Walz has called special elections in two Senate districts left vacant this month after the burglary conviction of Sen. Nicole Mitchell, DFL-Woodbury, and the death of Sen. Bruce Anderson, R-Buffalo. Elections to fill the vacancies will take place on Nov. 4, the governor's office announced on Tuesday. If necessary, special primary elections will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 26. Mitchell, a Democratic-Farmer-Labor senator, represented District 47, a Washington County seat that includes the suburbs of Woodbury and parts of Maplewood. She resigned last Friday, a week after a Becker County jury found her guilty of two felony charges for breaking into her estranged stepmother's Detroit Lakes home. Anderson was a longtime Republican lawmaker who represented Senate District 29. The district is northwest of Minneapolis and includes parts of Wright, Meeker, and Hennepin counties, as well as the cities of Buffalo and Monticello. He died unexpectedly on July 21 at the age of 75. With special elections now scheduled in both districts, Minnesota is on track to tie its record for most special elections in a year. The last time there were six special elections was 1994. Criminal cases, unexpected deaths and a residency dispute have driven up the number of non-election-year contests and have affected political dynamics in a Legislature narrowly divided between the parties. DFLers currently hold 33 seats in the Senate to Republicans' 32. The DFL only needs to hold on to Mitchell's former seat if it wants to maintain the Senate majority. Republicans would have to win both special elections to gain the majority. Anderson represented a rural district widely seen as a Republican stronghold. The DFL has dominated elections in the Woodbury area in recent years, though Mitchell's criminal case could draw greater Republican investment in the race. Candidates can begin filing paperwork to run in District 29 and District 47 this Wednesday. They have until 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6, to submit affidavits of candidacy to county officials or the Minnesota Secretary of State.

Shots fired in parking lot of Morton Grove funeral home, near families gathered for movie night in the park
Morton Grove police detectives are investigating after someone reportedly fired shots in the parking lot of a local funeral home Friday night, a few blocks away from where the village was hosting family movie night at Harrer Park. At around 8:54 p.m. Friday, police responded to a call of shots fired in the parking lot at 6251 Dempster Street. Reportedly, a 'large group' had gathered in the parking lot when a physical altercation occurred. During the disturbance, someone is alleged to have brandished a firearm and shot three rounds into the air, according to a police department news release. Police stated in the release that the individuals believed to be involved in the incident fled the area in vehicles before police officers arrived. Police Commander Anthony Anderson confirmed with Pioneer Press that the address is to the Simkins Funeral Home. It was not immediately clear whether the incident was related to a service or other business there. Anderson said no further details directly related to the alleged shooting would be provided, pending the ongoing investigation. 'We're doing our due diligence on that. We have detectives working on that,' he said. 'We're not going to release any information because it may taint our investigation.' Officials stated in the release, and Anderson reaffirmed, that there were no injuries reported. Authorities said there was no immediate or ongoing threat to the general public in the wake of the gunfire. 'Suspect and vehicle information was promptly shared with regional law enforcement partners. The Morton Grove Police Department is pursuing several leads,' according to the release. The funeral home is about a three-minute walk to Harrer Park where the Park District was holding its summer recurring Friday night movie showing. Families had gathered at the park to watch Disney/Pixar's 'Inside Out 2.' Some individuals reported on social media hearing the shots and mistaking them for fireworks or misfiring vehicles. Anderson said the park was not impacted and the movie showing went on without incident. Police ask anyone with information about the shots fired incident to contact the Morton Grove Police Department at 847-470-5200.
