Within the last hour, District 6 officers rushed to a shooting in the area of Gilmore and Thekla. A boy, we believe in his early teens, was shot. An unknown vehicle left the area after shots were fired. The teen is stable. Anyone with information should contact @STLRCS.
On Wednesday, the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners will consider establishing a Police Pre-Recruit position to help the #SLMPD hire and retain qualified candidates before their next Police Academy class begins.
