The shooting happened at Jamestown Mall in north St. Louis County. Police believe S.A. Carson took the air out of his ex-wife's tires so she could not get away, then came into the mall and shot her with a handgun in front of a Sears store before turning the gun on himself.
No one else was hurt. The mall was reopened on Thursday.
