MATTOON, Ill. (WAND) — St. John s Lutheran School went into lock down this afternoon due to a shot fired in the neighborhood, according to the Mattoon Police Department.
Police said the woman, 54, and her passenger, a 12-year-old girl from Centralia, were taken to an area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Wabash safety officer Gary Kepley said on Monday that Mourad, who asked to be called Matt by his fellow firefighters, had just officially joined the fire department five days before the crash and he had been responding to just his second call for service at the time.
