Multiple People Shot At Ambassador Center 'Repast'

ST. LOUIS, MO — Police said at least three people were injured in a shooting near the Ambassador Event Center, one of them critically, when suspects in a white sedan opened fire on a group in the parking lot.

At least one car at the scene of the shooting appeared to show bullet holes through the windows, according to helicopter footage. Officers and paramedics are on the scene and routing traffic away from the area.

At least one child was led out of the event center sometime after the shooting, apparently uninjured. A spokesperson for the Ambassador told Patch that a funeral reception, commonly called a repast, had been taking place in the building near where the shooting occurred.

The funeral was for a teenage girl who died due to a heart problem, according to Fox 2 St. Louis. Between 200 and 300 people were in attendance at the time.

Police have not named any suspects in the shooting. Anyone with information is urged to contact St. Louis Regional CrimeStoppers toll free at 1-866-371-TIPS (8477). All callers can remain anonymous. Tips can also be submitted through the CrimeStoppers website.
