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.
Authorities have taken a 19-year-old female suspect into custody in connection with the incident.
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.
A store employee, who was familiar with both individuals, attempted to intervene in the argument when a 19-year-old woman—later identified as the sister of one of the men—produced a firearm and opened fire, striking all three individuals.
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.
All three victims were transported to a local hospital, where they remain in stable condition.
Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting, and additional details will be released as they become available.
OMAHA, Neb. — At approximately 5:00 p.m., officers with the Omaha Police Department (OPD) and personnel from the Omaha Fire Department (OFD) responded to reports of an active shooter and multiple victims at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) Criss Library, located at 6401 University Drive.
The initial 911 call reported a mass casualty incident involving an active shooter with several individuals down inside the library.
In response, multiple law enforcement and emergency medical units were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival, officers conducted a comprehensive search of the building and surrounding area.
No victims, evidence of gunfire, or active threat were located.
After clearing the scene, authorities determined that the report was false and appears to have been a swatting call — a deliberate act of making a false emergency report to prompt a large police response.
The Omaha Police Department has confirmed that there was no danger to the public or the university community at any time.
The incident remains under investigation to identify the source of the false report.
Swatting is a serious criminal offense, and those found responsible can face federal and state charges.
