Board censures Alderwoman Sharon Tyus 8–3

Verbal reprimand over viral “bullet in the head” remark; she refuses to apologize.

The St. Louis Board of Aldermen voted 8–3 with one present vote Friday to issue a verbal censure to 12th Ward Alderwoman Sharon Tyus over September remarks about putting a bullet in Alderman Rasheen Aldridge’s head — comments she framed as a trust analogy.

Board President Megan Green sponsored the censure after Tyus refused a written apology. Tyus called the move improper.
