A St. Louis police sergeant was shot twice in the face “ambush” style on Sunday, just hours after at least three other officers were shot — one outside Kansas City, Missouri; one in San Antonio; and another in Sanibel, Florida.
The 46-year-old St. Louis sergeant, a 20-year veteran of the force, was sitting in his patrol car at a traffic light Sunday night when the suspect, described as a 19-year-old black man, pulled up beside the cruiser and fired two shots.
