ST. LOUIS — Dozens of shots were fired in St. Louis’ Downtown West neighborhood early Wednesday morning. One resident said the shots sounded like a machine gun and lasted for as long as two or three minutes.
Police said the shootings happened at around 12:30 a.m. near 20th Street and Washington Avenue.
