-- St. Louis police are searching for suspects after 15 people were shot in five incidents.

No one died in the shootings, though one person is in critical condition.

Police said two females and three males – four of them teens - were shot while standing around a fence in the 4700 block of Highland in north St. Louis around 10:30 p.m. Monday night. Victims told police a fistfight earlier in the night may have spurred the shootings.

St. Louis simply needs more guns. If they had more guns in St. Louis, this would not happen. It only happens because there aren't enough guns in that city.

As per some member's logic. What's giving me pause is I was just down there last Saturday for my boss's 50th birthday party. What's worse is I'll be downtown St. Louis this weekend for the Susan Komen race for the cure run. I pray that things go well.

We need these installed on all streets in the US.

No thanks, I don't want to get shot because I gave someone a "dehumanizing" stare, I fit the descirption, or my personal favorite, someone felt "threatened".

Exactly, there would be no more gun crimes if we had these on every street located no more than 10 feet apart.

Yep. Need to replace the word Zombies with Emergencies. That way, no one would abuse them.

luckily people didn't need to read the story to comment...

Very weird! Mentions of Assault Rifles / AK-47 and people getting hit in the knees, rear, femur, shoulder, collar bone, etc, etc.. Nobody dead (well yet, one is in critical condition). Was he just a bad shot or a really good shot?

Would this be considered a "mass" shooting?

Yes, it would. Mass murder it is apparently not but a mass shooting it most certainly is.

So it was a white guy.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

So it was a white guy.

Thus far they're saying that the five shootings were not connected. That would suggest that it's not "a" guy - white or otherwise.

Police said a couple was walking out of an apartment on Warren in north St. Louis just after 1 a.m. when a black male armed with the AK-47 came out and started shooting.

Police said the security team at the bar advised the victim there were people outside in the parking lot with guns. The victim then ran outside to his vehicle where he was shot and dislocated his right shoulder.

I don't know if this was just a bad night, or if something else was behind it, but I do know we don't need more guns in St. Louis.

The police should probably not tell the race of the shooter. Now people are going to use it as data.

You are wrong. They have more guns in Vermont and there were no mass shootings in Vermont last night. Thus, more guns = less shootings. Got it?
