David Dorn was a father, a husband, a grandfather, a brother and a man beloved by so many. His son says he died doing what he loved: protecting his community.
@KMOV
The number of people asking why I’m still working at 9 months pregnant…do people not understand the awful situation that is maternity leave in our country?
Reading this just feels like a punch to the gut. A week before the school shooting in St. Louis, the gunman’s family tried to get police to take the gun.
But he was legally allowed to possess it.

The coolest new bar is now open in Midtown. Hidden Gem by the owners of Golden Gems is a disco dive bar. Love everything about this spot. Excited to go dance and try the cocktails!
In this video you can see protestors walk right through the gate. It’s not destroyed when they walk onto the street.
You can hear McCloskey, “get the hell out of my neighborhood.”
A little personal breaking news to share ❤️ Our little bundle of joy arrives June 2021!!! This year is far from what we ever could have imagined but it will always be the year we made the decision to grow our little family. We can’t wait to take this next adventure!
Here’s what we know so far about this situation:
(THREAD ⬇️
The incidents happened at a home in South St. Louis in the Princeton Heights neighborhood.
@SLMPD
records shows 3 incidents starting in Jan 2022.
Police reports taken for burglary, trespassing and peace disturbance.
Best. Day. Ever.
I married the love of my life in
@ForestPark4Ever
and had truly the most incredible day thanks to so many people but especially my sisters. I wish it could have lasted forever but now we’re packing for the honeymoon and reminiscing about every moment.
Well that’s a wrap for me on TV for a while! 📺 Today is officially my due date and I’ll be starting my maternity leave as we anxiously wait for baby boy to arrive!
Stay tuned…💙
Well looks like I’ll be car shopping this weekend. A terrifying day yesterday when I got into a bad wreck on 55.
The only thing that matters is baby and I are ok. Thankful for the nurses and doctors at Mo Bap who were so kind in a very scary situation.
Well that was a moment to never forget.

BREAKING: Due to increasing supply in vaccine Missouri
@GovParsonMO
will speed up vaccine rollout.
Phase 2 will open on Monday, March 29th, and Phase 3 on Friday, April 9th.
That means every Missourian will be eligible for the vaccine on April 9.
Meet our new addition. On August 3rd we welcomed our little guy Liam James into the world!
We’re so in love and can’t wait to begin our new adventure as a family of four!

: A woman in her 30s has died in the City of St. Louis from
#COVID19

#coronavirus

I am so grateful to do what I love in a city I love. Excited to announce I’ve renewed my contract at
@KMOV
. I love reporting in my hometown and just want to say THANK YOU St. Louis for letting me tell your stories!
Flowers are wonderful but what I really want for Mother’s Day…
• Federal paid parental leave
• Affordable childcare
• Affordable access to postpartum care and lactation services
• A world where I don’t fear my child being gunned down at school, the store, a parade…

@KMOV
Just walking downtown with a rifle.
But this is legal in Missouri because of the state’s gun laws. (Unless this person is a felon.)
Missouri is an open carry state with no requirement for a permit.
BREAKING: Cardinals announcer Dan McLaughlin charged with DWI.
Creve Couer Police say McLaughlin was booked into St. Louis County jail on charges of Persistent Offender of Driving While Intoxicated.
@kmov
Family tells me the student victim is Alexandria Bell. She would have turned 16 in two weeks.
The sophomore loved to dance. A memorial grows with her picture outside CVPA.
My heart is so full. ❤️ Best way to celebrate my husband’s birthday is to see our little baby boy! He’s looking and doing great and we are HALFWAY. 20 weeks down, 20
To go.
UPDATE: David Dorn’s widow confirms she has been in touch with
@JackPosobiec
and that the fundraiser he started is the only legitimate one. The family also says donations to
@BackStoppers
and
@STLRCS
are great ways to show support.
We’re surviving on such little sleep over here but man, this little guy is so worth it! He’s the sweetest little babe and we’re loving every moment of discovering how to be parents.
2020 can really go to hell.
My husband tested positive for COVID and now we’ll be spending the Christmas holiday quarantined from each other. So far he has a fever, tiredness and loss of smell.
Feeling very sad and a little helpless in not being able to do anything for him.
BREAKING: An investigation by the state's Chief Disciplinary Counsel has found probable cause that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner committed professional misconduct.
DEVELOPING STORY:
BREAKING: Per a letter obtained by
@KMOV
, Wheelhouse and Start Bar have been shutdown for one YEAR due to numerous violations of
#COVID19
health orders.
That’s a wrap for my on air work for a while. Now I prepare for my new role any day now, mom of two!
See you on
@KMOV
later this fall! I won’t be hanging on this app much but I’ll pop in now and then!
Saying goodbye is never easy but I am thankful for 9 wonderful years with my Ellie. Adopting her in Knoxville was one the best decisions I ever made. She will be so missed.
Six years ago I started at
@KMOV
. My first live shot was at
@SLUHospital
.
It was always a goal to report in my hometown and I am thankful each day to live out that dream. ❤️ See you all tonight on the TV!
Just FYI if you are calling up a news station and cussing out the staff because they're on air giving out warnings about severe weather and you can't watch football, you need to rethink some things.
Missouri ranks 50th out of 50 states for vaccine rollout.
3.6% of population has been vaccinated.
See data here: Covid-19 Vaccine Rollout: State by State - The New York Times
All I can think about are the protests I’ve covered over the last six years. The arrests I’ve witnessed, the tear gas experienced.
Compare this photo on left from a protest at a MALL in St. Louis to the events that went on today in our nation’s capitol.
A really tough day in the KMOV newsroom. I feel honored to have worked alongside Steve and all of the co-workers let go today.
We lost some of the best at our station today.
Missouri Senator Josh
@HawleyMO
and the state’s new Attorney General announced investigations into Washington University’s Transgender Center at
@STLChildrens
following an article posted by a whistleblower about the practices at the center.
Just FYI...proof of vaccines has been required for years for everything from school to daycare to travel.
Health physicals are required to play sports. This isn’t a new concept.
JUST IN: State Health Department says all tests conducted today came back negative for
#COVID19
. They tested 11 patients today.
There remains just one confirmed case of
#coronavirus
in Missouri.

Statement from attorney Mark McCloskey:
“A mob of at least 100 smashed through the historic wrought iron gates of Portland Place, destroying them, rushed towards my home where my family was having dinner outside and put us in fear of our lives.”
We can talk about crime while also talking about facts.
St. Louis brings in millions of tourists each year (latest data 28.2 mil), with tons of booked hotels in Downtown and there’s dozens of great restaurants.
If you never come to
@DowntownStLouis
you might not know…
@KimsyWhimsy79
@alexiszotos
This is why we can't get the tourist here...no decent airline, no hotels, no nice food places anymore, and right by the projects! I never go down there, they are a bunch of fools down there.

Engine House 1 for helping make sure I had baby’s car seat installed right (it wasn’t tight enough!). 👶🏼
Good reminder that your local fire house or some of the area hospitals can check if for you!

Congrats Jason for helping bring back World’s Fair Donuts to the neighborhood. They made 2000 and sold out. All with the same cash register we’ve grown up seeing.
I’ll have to come back earlier! 🍩
@strangedonuts
A moment that just hit me.
You can’t hear it but the question was asked if you know anyone who was lost to gun violence and through out the crowd, name after name after name.
In St. Louis we are no stranger to the senseless and tragic impact of gun violence in our community.
Vice President-elect Kamala Harris: "My mother, who is always in our hearts. When she came here from India at the age of 19, she maybe didn't quite imagine this moment. But she believed so deeply in an America where a moment like this is possible."
A final getaway as a family of two before baby boy makes his appearance in two months! Soaking in a few more hours of the ocean before heading home. 👶🏼🌙
Lots of questions that need to be answered on this story.
