I was in Springfield today on business not too far from where this occurred. Crazy times.

Is this "local news" ?

Maybe we need an “Illinois News” header. I wasn’t sure where to post about something that happened in Chicago, either.
What say you, @Unknown2k ?

It is pretty flexible. WE can organize it any way you all want.

Definitely scary. We have some church friends whose son works for Bunn. However, because of COVID, he's been working from home. He usually works at the corporate office,not the warehouse. But he's still upset, because he knows many of the warehouse workers.

Was a motive ever released?
