St. Louis Police shoot and wound man after he fires at them

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Police officers shot and wounded a robbery suspect after he fired at them in St. Louis Sunday morning. St. Louis Police Chief John Hayden said officers were called to a check-cashing business around 8:45 a.m. Sunday after a man handed a note to a teller demanding money and displayed a handgun. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported two customers were also in the Currency Exchange store at the time. When two officers arrived, the suspect was leaving the store in the Grand Center neighborhood. Hayden said the man fired at police, and officers wounded him in the right leg. The man was taken to a hospital in critical but stable condition. The officers were unhurt.
