“I am so thankful nobody was injured or killed and nobody was injured no worse than it appears they were,” said Rex Turner, VFW post 8312 commander.
The City of Beavercreek has been in contact with the VFW and are now planning their next move.
The VFW posted on its social media that the building is closed until further notice and the spokesperson said it expects this to be the case for “a little while.”
