ST. LOUIS, MO — Police said at least three people were injured in a shooting near the Ambassador Event Center, one of them critically, when suspects in a white sedan opened fire on a group in the parking lot.

At least one car at the scene of the shooting appeared to show bullet holes through the windows, according to helicopter footage. Officers and paramedics are on the scene and routing traffic away from the area.

At least one child was led out of the event center sometime after the shooting, apparently uninjured. A spokesperson for the Ambassador told Patch that a funeral reception, commonly called a repast, had been taking place in the building near where the shooting occurred.
