[September 22, 2009]  BEASON -- Late Monday afternoon, about 5 p.m., the roads into Beason were closed to traffic, including to Beason residents. 

Logan County Sheriff Steve Nichols has confirmed that police are investigating multiple fatalities at a home in Beason.

Reports could not be confirmed, but sources near the scene said they were told a shooting and stabbing had occurred in the community. Later unconfirmed reports say that there were multiple victims, possible five, all belonging to one family.

Beason is a small community located nine miles east of Lincoln, one mile south of Route 10. 

From the positioning of police patrol cars, the incident appears to have happened within a short distance of the Beason grain elevator, which is on the Beason blacktop.

A press conference will be held by authorities today, Tuesday at 11:00am. regarding the incident.
