ST. LOUIS (KTVI) – St. Louis police are investigating an apparent holdup at a Taco Bell restaurant that led a suspect to point a weapon at St. Louis police officers and fired, forcing them to fire back.

It happened in the 3500 block of south Grand. Police say two men were leaving the restaurant with its cash drawer, when confronted by police, one of them pointed a gun at officers.

The officers returned fire but police don’t believe that suspect was struck.

After a brief foot chase, one of the suspects was taken into custody.

At a news conference, St. Louis police chief Sam Dotson said the suspect had just been released from federal prison.

Dotson said the suspects could be tied to other crimes in the area.

Police are still searching for the remaining suspect.
