ST. LOUIS – A shooting in the Penrose neighborhood in north St. Louis on Wednesday evening left four people injured, police said.

None of the shooting victims were reported to have life-threatening injuries.

The shooting call came in at about 5:11 p.m. in the 4800 block of Shreve Avenue.

Three people were listed as being in stable condition following the shooting, including one person with a superficial wound, police said. One person was listed as being in serious condition and in surgery at a hospital.

Nell Jones came home to find police tape tied to her front porch and blocking off the rest of her street. She’s seen a lot of shootings in the area, she said.

“I’m scared to take my babies out,” Jones said. “I’m scared to walk outside my door in the morning … this always happens on this street.”
