WOW! Even the Police Union is Furious this Shooting had no Charges

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- Crime continues despite the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. In fact, shooting in what's normally a very busy intersection was caught on camera last week.

Now the St. Louis police union wants to know why the person arrested is back out on the streets Wednesday.

The union said the video - which is difficult to watch - makes it clear, the shooter needs to be behind bars

“It’s just too gruesome,” said Jeff Roorda of the St. Louis Police Union.

Roorda says the video, taken from a nearby window, captures the shooting that happened on Lindell and Sarah in the city's Central West End Friday.

Police say two people involved in a car accident got into an argument. News 4 has chosen to blur their faces. But you can see the man in blue yelling, then the man on the left pulls out a weapon from his pocket, raises it and fires.

The victim turns and starts running, and still, more shots.

Police say he was shot in the shoulder, stomach and back, but is expected to survive.

“It’s certainly enough to charge the guy,” Roorda said.
