As city officials continue to learn more about the chain of events that left much of the city and surrounding area with little to no water during a stretch of sub-zero temperatures in mid-February, “a perfect storm” may best describe the ordeal.

A 21-year-old El Reno man has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of Angela Michelle Thompson, police reported.

Jason Lamar Richey was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder in connection with the shooting that happened March 10 at 402 S. Hadden. The shooting took place just before 9:30 p.m.

Assistant Police Chief Kirk Dickerson said Richey was injured in the incident that reportedly left another person wounded as well. Police did not release information or the name of that person.

Thanks to some generous donors, every dollar donated to the El Reno Public School Foundation will be matched in a move that is expected to help push the corpus of the nonprofit entity to more than $1 million.

Dana Gibson, longtime foundation board member, said the pool of donors willing to match the donations wish to remain anonymous.

She said no limit has been put on the dollar-for-dollar match. With assets of more than $800,000 and $700,000 of that permanently endowed, the effort could very well boost the foundation above $1 million.
