FLORISSANT, Mo. — Police believe a Friday afternoon shooting at a Florissant shopping center was an attempted robbery.
On Friday, Florissant Police Department said officers responded at 3:15 p.m. to a call for shots fired on the 8300 block of Lindbergh Boulevard.
The shooting happened at a shopping center parking lot next to the Bandana's Bar-B-Q restaurant, where a Schnucks, Wendy's, Phillips 66 gas station and other businesses are nearby.
On Saturday, police said after an initial investigation, two adult males and a juvenile male arranged to meet in the parking lot that day to 'engage in unlawful activity.'
During this meeting an attempted robbery occurred, police said, resulting in the fatal shooting of an adult male inside the vehicle.
Police said no charges have been issued yet, as the case is being reviewed by the St. Louis County Family Court and the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
Florissant police said the review may include consideration of a self-defense claim by the shooter.
