Here are the top three stories in St. Louis today:

1. An investigation of the man who was hit and killed at the intersection of Lucas-Hunt Road and Jacobi Avenue Tuesday evening revealed the man was 27-year-old John Addison. Addison had gotten off a Metro bus when he was hit by a car while attempting to cross the street. He later died at the hospital from his injuries. (KSDK.com)
2. Looters were caught taking things from the old Famous-Barr department store this week, days after the City of St. Louis ordered the store to be boarded up. On Wednesday, multiple people were seen leaving the building through new holes in boards with bundles of wire. On Tuesday, fire and police officials went into the building to ensure its fire safety, as they have seen evidence of people setting up little campfires inside. (KTVI Fox 2 St. Louis)
3. St. Louis County is consolidating two of its clinics in the north due to staffing shortages. The services currently offered at the John C. Murphy Health Center will be consolidated into the North Central Community Health Clinic because of nurse and medical assistant shortages. The clinics, which are six miles apart, helped over 31,000 members of the community last year. (KMOV4)
