A Missouri man who opened fire inside a Casey's convenience store, killing one police officer and wounding another, has been convicted of first-degree murder after jurors heard how store employees spotted warning signs moments before the shooting. The verdict, delivered nearly three years after the 12 March 2023 attack in Hermann, now puts Kenneth Simpson, 38, at risk of life imprisonment without parole or the death penalty.
Simpson was found guilty on Saturday of murdering Officer Mason Griffith, 34, and assaulting Detective Adam Sullentrup, 34, after prosecutors presented surveillance footage, bodycam video and testimony from Casey's employees and customers who were inside the store that night.
