Shooter injures two, then takes his own life in officer involved shooting on Interstate-35 At approximately 7 a.m. on May 31, 2019, Missouri state troopers responded to Interstate 35 on a report of shots fired from a red passenger car. The suspect shot the occupants of two vehicles traveling northbound on Interstate 35. Troopers observed the vehicle northbound near the 57-mile marker on Interstate 35 traveling at a high rate of speed. The suspect vehicle fled from troopers who attempted a traffic stop and a pursuit was initiated. The pursuit continued northbound on Interstate 35 and near the 62-mile marker the suspect fired shots at the trooper who was in pursuit. The trooper returned fire as the pursuit continued northbound on Interstate 35.

At exit 64 the suspect vehicle was involved in a rollover traffic crash and the suspect was found pinned under the vehicle. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene by the Daviess County coroner. The suspect has been identified as Julian Santiago-Cruz, 26, of Guadalupe Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Preliminary autopsy results show Julian Santiago-Cruz died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The two motorists who were shot were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Troopers involved in the incident were not injured. The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control continues the investigation.

Horse trainer searches for clues, finds answers Tom Mowery with Mutual Gains Horsemanship, a natural horse trainer out of Colorado and considered one of the best in the country, held a horse training clinic May 21 and June 1 at Alvin Detweiler’s farm south of Jamesport. Mr. Mowery worked with a horse under harness Saturday. “I feel like it’s Christmas every day because I get presents all the time,” he said, when the horse he was working with agreed to cooperate. Mr. Mowery takes the best of natural horsemanship and applies it to each individual situation. The

notion that there is something to gain for the horse as well as the human is the basis for his training. Mr. Mowery is best known for providing insight on how a horse thinks and processes information. An Amish man commented that…”Tom knows the inside of a horse better than anybody I know.” Mr. Mowery told the horse owners gathered that it was all about getting the horses’ minds to work better. It was the 10th year Mr. Mowery had made the trip to Jamesport.
