A tragic evening unfolded in Glenwood on Wednesday after a man allegedly shot his neighbor and set a house on fire, leaving one person dead and multiple others injured.
Several law enforcement agencies responded to reports of gunfire on North Grove Street around 7:30 p.m. Upon arrival, authorities discovered a residence engulfed in flames and multiple victims with gunshot wounds.
