The former City of Crestview Post Office and the vacant land just east of it will soon be owned by the city.

Several years before the events currently unfolding in Great Britain surrounding the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, a senior Crestview official received an unofficial briefing on the amount of detail that goes into the planning of a royal funeral.

Then-Mayor David Cadle, a former band director whose music career spanned more than three decades, welcomed Lt. Col. (ret.) Dr. Graham Jones, the former senior director of music for Coldstream Guards’ Household Division, to City Hall April 27, 2017.

In the early morning hours of Thurs., Sept. 1, gunshots rang out in several Crestview neighborhoods. The shots were reportedly fired between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.

“There was numerous scenes, nobody was injured, but there was property damage,” Crestview Police Department Major Raymond Harp said. “We have an idea of what was going on, but nothing on paper yet. Its still an active investigation.”

There were three scenes in which the incidents took place. Gunshots were investigated at W North Ave. and Lindberg St., E Redstone Ave. near the Crooked Pines townhomes neighborhood, and School Ave. and McClelland St.
