MARIONVILLE, Mo. (AP) — A small-town Missouri mayor’s public support of a Kansas shooting suspect has led to the resignation of one of his elected colleagues.
Marionville alderwoman Jessica Wilson tells the Springfield News-Leader (sgfnow.co/QrEfZe ) she is stepping down in protest of comments made by Mayor Danny Clevenger.
The repair shop owner said in an interview with KSPR-TV (bit.ly/1l51Ybo ) that he shared some of his friend Frazier Glenn Cross’ racist and anti-Semitic beliefs. The 73-year-old white supremacist from the nearby southwest Missouri town of Aurora faces charges of shooting three people to death outside a suburban Kansas City Jewish community center and retirement home.
