St. Louis, MO – Police are searching for a man who allegedly fired gunshots into a north St. Louis grocery store after being refused service last week.
According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the incident occurred Thursday morning around 9:40 a.m. at a Price Chopper in the 2700 block of Goodfellow. Detectives said the suspect entered the business wearing a face mask and approached the cashier’s counter. When the employee asked him to remove his mask and he refused, service was denied.
