This St. Louis gas station turned into an all out warzone after one man attempted to steal another man's gun, but failed in doing so.

VIA KSDK:
ST. LOUIS — A woman was injured after two men shot at each other at a north city gas station.

Police responded to a shooting call just before 1 p.m. Thursday at the BP gas station at 6001 W. Florissant Avenue, which is a few blocks away from the city-county line. When officers got there, witnesses said people already were driving the two victims to nearby hospitals.

The preliminary investigation found the suspect was trying to still an 18-year-old man’s gun while he was browsing inside the convenience store. But when the suspect wasn’t able to grab the gun, the suspect pulled out his own gun and fired several shots at the victim. The victim fired back, but he was injured in the shooting.

Somewhere in the middle of the shootout, a 32-year-old woman got caught in the crossfire and was injured. Police did not have an update on her status or the man’s condition Friday morning but said their vitals were stable.

The suspect got away, police said. He was last seen wearing a gray “Playboy” shirt, black pants with a white stripe down the side and black shoes.
