   ALTON - Shannon Walker issued a statement today in regard to her   
   recent charge Sunday of Reckless Conduct after attending a   
   gathering at Hiram’s Bar in Alton, during Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s   
   stay-at-home order.   
      
   “I wish to express my most sincere and humble apology for my   
   poor judgment this past week. I take the COVID-19 threat very   
   seriously. It is through no one else’s actions but my own that   
   resulted in embarrassment for our great city. For the sake of   
   our community and my safety, I am self-quarantining at an   
   undisclosed location due to the abundance of hate mail and death   
   threats I have received.   
      
   “I understand that many are upset by my actions. I also   
   understand that I am not exempt from Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s   
   statewide order that was placed for all our safety and am   
   willing to face the consequences of my actions. I hope others   
   will learn from my mistake and that everyone will do their part   
   to flatten the curve of this highly contagious virus. Stay safe!   
   #MyAlton   
      
   Walker said the national attention to the Alton situation has   
   been devastating to her and said she feels she now has to stay   
   self-quarantined during the coronavirus pandemic. She also said   
   she hopes the hate mail will stop.
