ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - An ongoing dispute between two men turned violent overnight. Police are trying to determine if the shooting is a case of self defense. It happened in the 4000 block of Maffitt around 12:30 a.m. Thursday. A woman called police and said a man was trying to get into the home. He reportedly had taken off a screen and broken a window. A male inside the home confronted the alleged burglar outside the house and was able to get a gun away from the man and shot him.
The 30-year-old shooting victim ran across the street and collapsed on the sidewalk. He was later pronounced dead. Homicide detectives were called to the scene to investigate. It's too early to determine if charges will be filed. This could be a case of self defense.
another shooting in St. Louis... color me shocked... /s
Even if it was an “ongoing dispute” I can’t blame the home owner for drawing the line when his foe decided to break into the house.
Yet the elite in St Louis fought and delayed issuing Concealed Carry Permits as long as possible. They were the last area in the state to start issuing permits.
Yeah. LOL. That was a war zone back in the 70’s.
