Woman, 80, shot to death in St. Louis

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Homicide detectives in St. Louis are investigating a drive-by shooting that killed an 80-year-old woman and left four others injured.

The crime happened Wednesday. Two men in a Dodge Intrepid apparently targeted an 18-year-old man, shooting him in the leg.

But police say three innocent bystanders were also shot, including 80-year-old Julie Steele, who was driving by at the time and was shot in the head. Her car careened out of control and struck two parked cars, leaving an 80-year-old passenger injured.

Police spokeswoman Schron Jackson says two men, ages 26 and 66, were also shot while standing near the targeted man.

All four of the injured were hospitalized in stable condition.

Police were searching for the suspects.
