A woman has been arrested and charged with murder after allegedly fatally stabbing a firefighter paramedic in the back of an ambulance in Missouri on Sunday. According to KCTV, 38-year-old Shanetta Bossell has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder for allegedly killing Graham Hoffman, a 29-year-old firefighter paramedic. KCTV reported that the Kansas City Missouri Police Department was notified shortly after 12:30 a.m. on Sunday that a woman was walking alone on a highway.

Camden County lifts burn ban a week early
CAMDENTON, Mo — A week after issuing a burn ban, the county announced it is lifting its ban. For much of mid-March, firefighters in the Camden County area were busy battling wildfires that broke out. Dry and windy conditions fueled several wildfires that kept multiple departments busy. Emergency Management Director John Scheper told Ozarks First an estimated 2,500 to 3,500 acres burned. On March 18th, a ban on burning was put into place until April 1st. On Tuesday, the Camden County Commission signed a notice revoking that order as of midnight on March 25: Before the ban was put in place, over two dozen structures had been damaged, and over 30 vehicles, including boats, have been caught in the flames. Several homes were evacuated, and fires had sparked on both sides of Highway 54. At one point, the Camden County Commission declared a state of emergency. With calmer winds expected Wednesday, humidity increasing, and low chances for rain forecast over the next few days in the area, fire danger is suppressed. However, the Missouri Division of Fire Safety offers some tips for safe burning here.
