ST. LOUIS — A St. Louis corrections officer accidentally shot three people inside her home early Sunday while unloading her gun, according to police.
The 38-year-old woman was standing in the kitchen of her Gravois Park home at about 1:10 a.m. when the gun accidentally discharged, striking a 35-year-old man, 40-year-old woman and 36-year-old woman in their left arms.
All three victims were taken to hospitals, where their vitals were stable. Responding officers found the gun.
“All parties cooperated and provided matching accounts of the incident,” according to a police department summary of the incident.
The gun was the officer's personal weapon. Corrections officers do not have city-issued guns.
