In the earlier shooting, a man was shot in the leg before retreating into a nearby restaurant. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the victim was then picked up by an ambulance and police took a suspect into custody, recovering a gun.
Sometime after midnight, additional shots were fired near the protest. According to St. Louis alderman Antonio French, witnesses said a second victim was shot in the neck.
Witnesses say someone (not police) shot the man in his neck on Canfield. He got himself in the truck to the hospital. Hopefully will be OK.
