BREAKING: I now have the affidavits police used to seek a warrant to raid a Kansas newspaper and two homes. We’re working to get something published ASAP. @KSHB41
JUST IN: I’ve obtained video of the police raid from inside Joan Meyer’s home, co-publisher of Marion County Record. Meyer is visibly upset with police and is using a walker as she yells, “this is my home.”

BREAKING: I’m told the Marion County attorney has withdrawn the search warrant and has released the seized items from Marion County Record to the attorney for the newspaper who has a forensics expert in Marion on standby. @KSHB41
Cheri, the office manager at Marion County Record, tells me she did not get home until 7a! She slept for two hours and is now putting mailing addresses on today’s paper. @KSHB41

She spoke to the Wall Street journal so far. Angeli Rose Gomez, a farm supervisor working nearby who has children in second and third grade at Robb, told the Journal that she drove 40 miles to the school when she heard about the shooting, only to see an apparent lack of response
NEW: Kansas Commission on Judicial Conduct has taken up a complaint against the judge who signed off on the police raid of a Kansas newspaper. The commission is asking Judge Viar to respond.
BREAKING: Three affidavits layout the evidence police used to search Marion County Record and two homes. Little new information here. I’ll add a couple more details but want you guys to have what we have.
Eric Meyer, publisher of Marion County Record, says he’ll be here all night. We’ve been here all day and he’s done non-stop interviews while also trying to get something published this week. Much needed break for Meyer. @KSHB41
JUST IN: I have the search warrant and the application for the search warrant. The application for the search warrant is just a copy and paste of the warrant. Staff at the recorder is in the phone with the court house now. They’ve given us access to their newsroom. @KSHB41
