Police investigating after multiple beehives set on fire in St. Louis County
SUMMARY: Sure, please provide the content you would like me to summarize.
The Ladue and Frontenac Police Departments are each investigating after two separate beehives were set on fire in just the past two months.
The most recent incident occurred Sept. 11 around 5 a.m. at the Carmelite Monastery off Clayton Road. Doorbell video from across the street shows an explosion in the distance and smoke billowing from the beehive.
The Ladue Fire Department responded and put the fire out before it could spread, but the hive was destroyed. It appeared the alleged suspect doused the hive with a fire accelerant—possibly gasoline—before setting it ablaze.
Neighbor Amanda Holman was stunned to find out what happened.
“It was somewhat of an explosion,” Holman explained. “Somebody definitely didn’t want these bees here anymore.”
She lives close to the monastery and knows the beekeeper, and she says he is devastated by what happened. The beekeeper, who spoke to FOX 2 but did not want to be identified, had an agreement with the monastery that he could use the space. He underscored how unnecessary setting the hive on fire was and emphasized how critical bees are to our ecosystem.
Other neighbors also don’t understand why someone would do this, according to Holman.
“They’re honeybees! They’re critical to our existence. It’s a shame. But I hope whoever did this either learns their lesson or gets caught,” she said.

Driver killed by police after driving truck through Texas mall, injuring 5
SUMMARY: A driver was shot and killed by law enforcement after crashing a pickup truck into a Killeen mall on Saturday, injuring five people. Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) officers attempted to stop the truck, suspected to be driven by an intoxicated person, but the driver fled, eventually driving through a JCPenney store, striking shoppers aged 6 to 75. Officers pursued on foot and engaged the driver in gunfire. Amid confusion, social media misinformation mistakenly reported an active shooter; officials later confirmed there was none. Witnesses described the chaotic scene as people scrambled for safety during the pre-Christmas rush.

Eric DeValkenaere’s sentence commuted in Cameron Lamb killing
SUMMARY: Missouri Governor Mike Parson commuted the prison sentence of former Kansas City police detective Eric DeValkenaere, who was convicted in 2021 for the 2019 shooting death of Cameron Lamb. DeValkenaere was sentenced to six years in prison but had been serving time since October 2023. Lamb was unarmed when shot. DeValkenaere’s family submitted a clemency request, and Governor-elect Mike Kehoe supported his release. The Lamb family expressed outrage over the decision. While the commutation reduces DeValkenaere’s sentence, it does not forgive his conviction. The situation remains controversial, with mixed reactions from officials and the public.
