Three Injured in Shooting at Walgreens in Central West End, Female Suspect in Custody
St. Louis, MO – Three people, including a Walgreens employee, were shot and injured following an altercation at the Walgreens located at 4218 Lindell Blvd in the Central West End.

According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD), officers responded to reports of an active shooting at the Walgreens near Lindell and Whittier around 12:00 p.m.
Upon arrival, officers discovered two individuals suffering from gunshot wounds near the entrance of the store.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the incident stemmed from a dispute between two men outside the Walgreens.

Shortly after the shooting, officers located a third victim at Lindell and Sarah, where they also apprehended the suspect.
Authorities confirmed that the third victim and the suspect are siblings.
