ST. LOUIS — A man was shot outside a south city bar late Sunday night in St. Louis.
St. Louis police officers and investigators responded at about 10:36 p.m. to the Bottom Line Sports Bar & Grill, which is in the 1500 block of South Seventh Street.
A 22-year-old man was found lying on the ground outside the bar with apparent gunshot wounds, according to a preliminary police report. Due to the man's condition, he was only able to tell officers that someone shot him from behind.
The victim was taken to a hospital where he was listed in critical condition.
A 5 On Your Side photojournalist who went to the scene spotted more than a dozen evidence markers outside of the bar. The sidewalk and street in front of the business were closed off with crime scene tape while investigators processed the scene.
Police haven’t released details about a potential suspect or the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
A check of the business' hours on its Facebook page showed it was open until midnight Sunday.
This was one of three shootings police investigated late Sunday night into Monday morning.
About 30 minutes prior to the shooting outside the sports bar, officers responded to a double homicide in the 5900 block of Bartmer, which is in the West End neighborhood. St. Louis police said two people were found shot and killed inside a vehicle.
And at about 2 a.m., a 15-year-old boy and 17-year-old boy arrived at a St. Louis hospital with gunshot wounds. According to a preliminary police report, the teens told police they were shot during a drug deal in the area of Osceola and Nebraska, which is in the south city neighborhood of Mt. Pleasant.
