Sources in St. Louis indicate that Missouri State Auditor Tom Schweich has died this morning.
Sources close to the Auditor said the Gubernatorial candidate was rushed to a St. Louis hospital for a self inflicted gunshot wound. Governor Jay Nixon issued this statement: “From his courageous work to combat the illegal drug trade abroad in Afghanistan to his tireless efforts to protect the interests of taxpayers here in Missouri, Tom Schweich’s exceptional intellect and unwavering dedication to public service left a legacy that will endure for many years to come.”
He also ordered flags across the state to be lowered to half staff immediately to honor Schweich’s passing.
