BARNHART, Mo. — Two men were arrested Saturday as apart of an ongoing investigation of a double shooting in Barnhart on Saturday.
The shooting happened at a home along Albemarle Court at around 12:15 Saturday afternoon. Police said one man was shot in the chest and another man suffered a graze wound. The man shot in the chest was listed in critical condition.
A spokesperson for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said two men and a woman went into the home shortly before the gunshots and left the home a short time later. Police said they then got into a black pick-up truck and drove away.
The men were found at a home near Highway Z and Jarvis Road, where they were arrested. Charges have not been filed.
Police believe the men they took into custody Saturday were the ones seen entering and leaving the house. The woman is still on the run, police said.
Police also said this was not a random shooting, but they are still working to determine what happened inside the house that led to the shooting.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Jefferson County Detective Bureau at 636-797-5515.
