Man from southern Missouri arraigned on murder charge

LIBERTY, Mo. (AP) – A man from southern Missouri has been arraigned on first-degree murder charges in a shooting that killed one person and critically injured three others.

Oregon County authorities say the court entered a not guilty plea for 28-year-old Christopher Lindley, of Thayer, on Monday.

He is accused of shooting the victims early Saturday at the Snappy Mart in Koshkonong.

A probable cause statement released Monday said one victim, Paul Chavis, was shot outside the store.

A deputy found Carlos Moreno, a truck driver from California, dead and two others, Melissa Rae Blaskiewicz and Jonah Bivens, injured inside the store. Authorities did not announce the victims’ hometowns.
