Baxter Springs Burn Victim Dies at Springfield Hospital Sharon Horn, 65, of Baxter Springs, passed away just before 7:00 a.m. at a Springfield Hospital on Saturday.

Horn’s injuries were obtained after a man entered her home and began assaulting her, ultimately setting her and two Baxter Springs Police Officers on fire.

A third officer, along with the suspect, also sustained injuries during the incident, which occurred just before 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning.

The suspect and one Baxter Springs Police Officer continue to be hospitalized while the two other officers have since been treated and released.

Initially the call came in as a domestic disturbance, but investigators have since determined the victim and suspect were acquaintances, but not involved in a domestic relationship.

The investigation is being conducted by the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office and Kansas State Fire Marshal’s Office.

Mid America Live News will update when more information on this incident is released to us.

Creatures of the night event a success

87 picnickers met at Poplar Heights Living History Farm for the Creatures of the Nigh event. The kids painted bats. 

The Owl Lady brought a Screech Owl and a Barred Owl and presented a fun and educational program that got everyone involved in games and owl calls. Gail introduced Zeus and Athena the king snakes. 

We finished up the evening with hayrides thru the now dark farm fields and marshmallows over the bonfire. Thanks to all who came out for such a wonderful evening.
