BELLEFONTAINE NEIGHBORS Police early Wednesday morning said they haven't been able to find a 13-year-old girl suspected of shooting and critically wounding a couple in their 70s during a beauty supply store robbery the day before.
The girl was considered armed and dangerous. She apparently ran from the store carrying a pistol. Police search dogs lost her scent in a wooded area between the store and the Castle Point neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon.
Bellefontaine Neighbors Police said this surveillance image shows a girl they want to talk to in connection with a shooting at a Bellefontaine Neighbors beauty supply store on Tuesday, July 19, 2016.
The critically injured man and woman, who live in O'Fallon, Mo., were being treated at a St. Louis hospital after being shot once in the torso area, said Detective Lt. Shawn Applegate.(snip)
Applegate said early Wednesday that he had been told by the hospital that the woman had died overnight, but police have since corrected that to say both victims remain alive. (snip)
The couple were shot after 4 p.m. Tuesday at Kings Beauty Supply, 10073 Lewis and Clark Boulevard, near Chambers Road. They live in O'Fallon, Mo., and are the store owner's parents who frequently worked at the story.
Police knew the identity of the girl, whom police were calling a person of interest." She gave police a fictitious name earlier in the day when they talked to her about an earlier disturbance at the store. They sent her on her way, however, because the store's owner didn't want to press charges.(snip)
Police believe that the girl who was released on a warning later returned to the store and shot the couple.
A witness saw her enter the store, "then less than a minute later came running out, swinging in her right hand a revolver as she ran,"

Most likely a teen but I suppose it could also be a youth.
She really wanted those hair extensions I guess.
That'll narrow it down.
The day of rage might not have gone as scheduled, but it has progressed to other targets. Little girl gang shooters. Bad Lives Murder (or try to).
These are times that sorely test all of us.

That will teach them about Black privilege!
Korean lives apparently don’t matter...especially when a feral youth needs hair extensions.
Nice, less than 10 miles from where I sit. I guess Black Lives DO matter, unless you are a beauty supply store owner..
This was the third time this girl was in the store.
First time her and another girl tried to shoplift items from the store, but were caught, items were retrieved and the two girls were sent on their way.
Then the two returned and the police were called. Police responded and took one girl into custody for an outstanding warrant, but this girl was released with a warning of trespassing only, because the shop owner's parents did not want to press charges.
The third is when the parents were shot.
Harry, what have you done....Wait....what?
The Baton Rouge cops were murdered behind a beauty supply store.
That’s what I get for not reading the article; they Korean..
Yeah that’s what my wife told me. She also told me: One of the officers who was shot tried to retrieve another officer who had also been shot, but the shooter was right around the corner. He was crawling out to him and when he got past the corner the shooter shot him twice more to kill him and make sure, he was killed.
How else she ‘spoze tuh git she hair did??!!
“She gave police a fictitious name earlier in the day when they talked to her about an earlier disturbance at the store. They sent her on her way, however, because the store’s owner didn’t want to press charges.”
How did that work out for them?
Knew it would be another Obama offspring.
If 0bama had a daughter ...
