In an incident that occurred early Saturday, a shooting left three individuals wounded and in critical, but stable condition after they arrived at an area hospital. According to a report by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the victims—a 23-year-old woman, a 22-year-old woman, and an 18-year-old man—were each brought in separate vehicles to receive urgent medical care following gunshot injuries.
The call to law enforcement came around 3:00 AM, as the trio sought help for their grave afflictions. Despite the chaos of the situation, officers were quick to respond, leading them to cordon off an area near N 8th St. and O’Fallon St., where they believe the incident may have taken place. At present, the events that transpired leading to the violence remain unclear; the investigation is ongoing to elucidate the sequence of events that culminated in the shooting.
Law enforcement officials have not yet released information about suspects or motives in the shooting. The investigation is ongoing as detectives collect evidence and seek witness statements to help solve the case.
The victims are currently in critical condition. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward and assist with the investigation. Updates will be provided as more details become available.
