Three Shot in Carjackings Monday Night

ST. LOUIS, MO — Two men and a woman were shot overnight Monday in two separate carjackings, the Post-Dispatch reports.

He was shot in the shoulder and is in the hospital in stable condition, according to police. Officers followed the suspects but lost them near South Compton Ave. and Keokuk Street, they said.

A second carjacking happened around 11 p.m. in the 4400 block of Anderson Ave. when four men with t-shirts over their faces shot a 31-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman, taking the man's green Chevrolet Lumina.
