BELTON TX â As thousands go without power, and many in the community are low on food and water, a small group in Belton is making a difference.
Belton s American Legion 55 has opened its doors as a shelter, even though shutting down permanently may be imminent in the coming month for the Legion.
Days prior to the historic cold front, Matt Turner, Post Commander with American Legion 55, gathered supplies with other legion members for local homeless. Turner also made a call to Belton Police Department, saying anyone finding themselves in need could come to their legion.
do you know where the shooter or shooters may be on the base at fort hood? i do not have that information at this time. so everyone should shelter in place. that order is still in existence, right? this incident is by no means over. it is not over. still shelter in place. the post is locked down. we re hearing multiple injuries. do you have any more specific information as far as the injuries, casualties, any confirmed deaths or people just injured? i cannot confirm any of that. where do we stand right now? you basically got your own forces, you re helping out to try to secure the perimeter around this base, is that right? that s correct. all right. thanks very much, lieutenant donny adam, bell county sheriff s office. let s take a quick break. we ll be right back.
