The former teacher and coach of a 24-year-old woman shot and killed outside a Sioux Falls hair salon describes her as a fun-loving and hard-working young lady who was a joy to have in the classroom.
When I learned that the shooting victim was 24 year old Amanda Connors, the manager of Cost Cutters, it hit me right where I live. Mind you, I never knew Amanda, but what I am learning since yesterday makes me wish that I did. You see, it has affected me because my wife Lori owns and operates a beauty salon downtown. My daughter Erin is 24 years old, the same age as Amanda.
Sioux Falls Police Captain Greg VandeKamp held a news conference on Tuesday to lay out the sequence of events that led to the death of two people at the Cost Cutters on West 41st Street.
