One Person Dead, One Person Critical After Thanksgiving Double Shooting in Farmersville

When you think of peaceful places to be in America on Thanksgiving, Farmersville would certainly make the cut. While many families had the kind of gatherings that you could fit in a Norman Rockwell painting, at another home emergency personnel and police who had to step away from turkey and pumpkin pie found themselves at the scene of an apparent double shooting that left one person dead.  Arriving authorities performing a welfare check at 104 Nobbie Street at just before 12:45 pm, found 45-year-old Leslie Reeves of Troy unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene.  The resident of the home, 48-year-old Christopher Smith was critically injured. He was transported to St. John's Hospital in Springfield.  The Illinois State Police Crime Scene Services also responded to assist.  A person of interest has been identified and the incident remains under investigation by the Montgomery County Sherrif's Office, the Illinois State Police and the Montgomery County Coroner's Office.
