St. Louis, MO – Police are searching for a man accused of firing gunshots into a St. Louis grocery store after being denied service last week.
According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the incident happened Thursday morning, August 20, around 9:40 a.m. at a Price Chopper in the 2700 block of Goodfellow.
