Florissant, Missouri – A 62-year-old man faces felony charges after an alleged shooting on Woodstock Road prompted a police response Sunday.
According to the St. Louis County Police Department, the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office issued charges against William Borak, 62, of Florissant, in connection with the April 12 incident. He is charged with first-degree assault or attempt, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon. Borak is being held on a $250,000 cash-only bond.
Police said officers responded to a reported shooting involving two victims and multiple witnesses. Investigators allege the incident began as a verbal argument between Borak and the victims earlier in the morning.
According to the probable cause statement, Borak allegedly displayed a handgun during the confrontation and was told by one of the victims to leave the property. That individual briefly left the scene and later returned, at which point the argument resumed.
Authorities allege Borak then fired two rounds, striking one victim in the chest. Witnesses at the scene, along with both victims, provided statements that investigators said were consistent. Borak was taken into custody and reportedly found in possession of a handgun.
The condition of the injured victim has not been publicly updated.
St. Louis County Police North County Precinct officers are handling the investigation. Charges are allegations, and Borak is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
The case may impact nearby residents and commuters in the Florissant area as the investigation continues.
