A juvenile was the victim of a shooting incident in North St. Louis on Monday evening, prompting an urgent search for medical aid at a local gas station, as reported by multiple sources. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department responded to calls concerning the incident, which occurred on the 5500 block of Martin Luther King Drive around 9 p.m., according to a statement released by the department and cited by First Alert 4.
Following the shooting, an adult was seen seeking help for the injured minor at the Crown Food Mart, and authorities have described the child's condition as "stable", a piece of information shared by KSDK; however, details regarding the child's age and specific nature of the injuries were not immediately provided by the authorities.
While the sequence of events leading up to the incident remains unclear, there is a shadow cast by the resistance to cooperate from a second adult involved, who police say is not assisting in the investigation, as FOX 2 Now highlight.
