Gunmen Visit Same St. Louis Home Three Times in 14 Hours

Three people were injured inside the same St. Louis home during three separate shootings.

A north St. Louis home resembles a block of Swiss cheese this morning after gunmen fired shots into the residence on three separate occasions between Sunday afternoon and early this morning.

The first shooting occurred around 1:50 p.m. yesterday when a dark green Ford Taurus stopped in front of a residence in the 4500 block of Anderson and fired shots, grazing in the shoulder a 35-year-old male inside the home. The victim was taken to an area hospital and treated. The Ford Taurus, meanwhile, was later located abandoned in an alley.

Twelve hours later -- at 1:49 a.m. today -- gunmen returned again, firing shots into the same home. This time a 38-year-old man inside the residence was grazed in the arm and taken to the hospital.

But the gunmen weren't finished. Not yet.

According to St. Louis police, suspects returned at 3:31 a.m. today and again fired shots into the home. This time a 74-year-old male was grazed in the leg. He refused medical treatment.

Witnesses reported a newer model burgundy van or SUV leaving the scene this morning. Police say that they believe several individuals inside the home were the intended targets. (Duh.)

An investigation is ongoing.

Third time's a charm?

Kitty

sounds like a damn episode of Breaking Bad. any chance the police actually got the shooters?? given the fact that there were 3 separate drive-bys, there must've been investigators on the scene for at least one of them.

Pokey

Did any of you racists stop to think that maybe the residents of the home had "bich asses" and needed "a cap bus-sed n dae bich asses"?

You are the biggest racist on the web. No matter how mean, violent or guilty the north St. Louis thugs are, you always defend them and blame us white people for your troubles. And with the way you write and spell, I bet you are the "sheeit bich."

Some fucking investigator you are. That's Pokey trolling. I can only imagine he keeps it up to either get the borderline racists like yourself riled up, or that he sincerely enjoys speaking in ebonics.
