Five People Shot Thursday Night In Saint Louis

ST. LOUIS, MO — Five people were shot in three separate incidents in St. Louis Thursday night, KMOV Channel 4 reports.

In the first shooting, which occurred around 11:30 p.m., three men were injured in the north city's Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood, near the 2500 block of Hodiamont Avenue.

Twenty minutes later and about six miles away, a second man was shot near East Grand Boulevard and Strodtman, near Peace Park in the College Hill Neighborhood of north St. Louis. The man in his 30s was injured in the leg and drove himself a short distance before finding help.

About 40 minutes after that, a third shooting took place in the 3600 block of Bates Street, near Interstate 55 in the south city. That victim too was in his 30s and reportedly shot in the leg.

No condition report was available for any of the five victims, who were taken to local hospitals, and police have not released any suspects in the shootings.

Last year St. Louis cracked its 25-year murder record. Per capita, the city ranks third for homicides in the United States and first for non-fatal shootings, according to data from the FBI and Major Cities Chiefs Association.
