ST. LOUIS — A man was shot near a MetroLink station in Downtown West late Sunday night.
Police said it happened at about 11:50 p.m. at 14th and Spruce, which is near the Civic Center MetroLink station and major bus stop. Crime scene tape roped off an area outside the station.
With the help of MetroLink Security, St. Louis police found two suspects and took them into custody. A 5 On Your Side photojournalist also saw police detaining the men in handcuffs on the train tracks. Both of them are 25 years old, and police listed one of them as a victim, too.
The 35-year-old man who was shot drove himself to a hospital, police said. He was last listed in critical condition and was stable. Police added that they haven’t been able to interview him yet because he was undergoing medical treatment.
The case is being investigated as an assault and unlawful possession of a firearm.
