I won't tell you more than I know, but just Google "Macomb IL Hostage Farm King"

You will have several links come up.

Rumors are flying he got fired this morning, but unable to confirm. A name is given in the comments section of one of the posts, but once again can't confirm

News reports do verify he fired about 20 rounds at the police around 12:45 local time. Weapon is believed to be an AK47. DOUG
 
Can't add any details, but I heard about that this afternoon. I hope everyone is OK. I did hear that no one was injured, but can't confirm. Got the news on right now waiting for more news.
 
It is over. As I mentioned before, pretty sure I know who it is. But not going to release a name.

Police sent a robot in to search for gunman and any possible hostages. Gunman shot himself.

Last update I heard the store manager is not accounted for. Witnesses in the store at time it started reported a loud argument followed by 4 or 5 gunshots.

Rumor has it that the gunman got fired this morning. I fear the manager is likely dead also. DOUG
 
Thought I had seen something about that on my "local" internet news but then went to a volleyball game and now it's not there.
Been in that store several times. Sad News
 
Go to WGEM website. They have several videos you can watch.

Name has been released, Jonathan Labbe, 19 of Tennessee, IL.

Good news is that the latest reports say no one else was injured. I will take that to mean the manager reported as missing is OK. DOUG
