Thursday, June 26, 2025: Sheriff Comments on Shootings and Weekend Events

Laclede County Sheriff Calls Recent Shootings Isolated and Assures Community Safety

Sheriff Matt Frederick said in an interview with Ozarks First that “This is an isolated incident. I know we’ve had several violent crimes happen recently here in Laclede County, but none of them seem to be related. Whenever we investigate into these, we look at the victimology of it and the victims are all completely different. Whenever the public asks, ‘Well, are we safe?’ Well, we’re generally safe here. We are, truly we are.” Read full article: https://www.ozarksfirst.com/news/lebanon-mo-father-son-tragedy
