Two people with gunshot wounds were found early Friday inside a car parked at the St. Louis County Police Jennings precinct, authorities said. Investigators say the shooting that injured them happened in the city of St. Louis, and both victims were treated at the scene before being taken to a nearby hospital. Detectives are now working to sort out where in the city the gunfire erupted and what led up to it.
According to KSDK, St. Louis County officers at the Jennings precinct discovered the wounded pair inside a vehicle sitting in the station's parking lot. The outlet reports that while county officers were the ones who came across the victims, St. Louis city police are handling the criminal investigation. KSDK also noted that officers and paramedics provided medical care in the lot before both people were taken to an area hospital.
Where This Unfolded
The Jennings precinct is listed at 5445 Jennings Station Road in Jennings, and the precinct page includes the station's contact and non-emergency number, according to St. Louis County Police. That is the same lot where officers found the vehicle and the two gunshot victims. The department’s public information office handles media questions about incidents at the precinct.
Investigation And Next Steps
St. Louis city detectives are leading the criminal investigation while county officers remain involved since the victims turned up on county property, according to KSDK. Authorities have not released the victims' names, have not shared their conditions, and have not announced any suspects as the case moves forward. Detectives are asking anyone who knows what happened to come forward while they work to build a timeline and pin down a motive.
