Two 16-year-old boys and a 64-year-old woman were also shot, police said in a report released Saturday. The boys were seriously wounded; they and the woman were listed in stable condition Saturday at a hospital.

Jurnee was at Soldan watching games with her family, police said. Fights broke out among the crowds as people were exiting the stadium.

An officer at the school called at 7:17 p.m. for backup in dispersing the fights, and police from the surrounding area responded, police said. The officers were dispersing the crowds shortly after 8 p.m. when several gunshots were heard just north of the school.

Responding officers found Jurnee and the three other shooting victims in the parking lot of Harold's Chop Suey in the 1100 block of Union Boulevard, police said. Jurnee was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.

"Little Jurnee Thompson was shot to death as she stood in front of a restaurant with family members awaiting their food order," Hayden said. She and at least two others she was with were cousins, he added.

Jurnee was a student at Herzog Elementary School, said Meredith Pierce, a spokeswoman for St. Louis Public Schools. The two 16-year-old boys are students at McKinley High School.
