ST. LOUIS (AP) - A car-break in suspect has died after being shot Wednesday and a security guard was run over in a confrontation near a St. Louis children's hospital, authorities said.
The suspect was shot in the chest around 1:25 a.m. near SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. He was taken to a hospital, where he died, police said.
The hospital guard also was taken to a hospital in critical condition. St. Louis police are investigating. No other details were immediately released about the shooting, including the name of the suspect or the guard.
