ST. LOUIS — A man is in the hospital with serious injuries after a shooting inside a north St. Louis County gas station, according to Berkeley Police Chief Art Jackson.
Jackson told 5 On Your Side the shooting happened shortly after 11:30 a.m. Monday as a result of an altercation between three men and a woman which began outside the BP gas station located at 4403 N. Hanley Road.
Jackson said the three men and woman were arguing outside the gas station when the three men began fighting. The fight moved inside the store, where the shooting happened.
He said one man was shot and was taken to the hospital with "very serious injuries" by EMS.
The suspect in the shooting is still at large, according to Jackson.
