Kirkwood family is still healing months after trunk-or-treat shooting

It’s been nearly three months since Bobby Shah, his wife, Lisa, and two sons were at a trunk-or-treat at North Kirkwood Middle School, when prosecutors say former St. Louis County Police officer Matthew McCulloch threatened people and fired shots while surrounded by children.

The event was sponsored by the Parent Teacher Organization at Tillman Elementary school, which is part of the Kirkwood School District. Hundreds of children were at the middle school, located at Geyer and Manchester roads, when the shooting happened, police said.

McCulloch was there with his family and off duty, though he had his badge and weapon on him. The Shah family had been there for mere minutes when shots were fired into the air.
