BELLEFONTAINE NEIGHBORS • A couple critically injured in a shooting at their daughter’s beauty supply store in north St. Louis County are improving, a family friend said.

The man and woman, both in their 70s, were shot last Tuesday while working at King’s Beauty Supply Store, 10073 Lewis and Clark Boulevard. The suspect, a 13-year-old girl, turned herself in the following day, surrounded by family members.

Joo Lim, a long-time family friend, said the female victim of the shooting — the store owner’s mother — has moved out of the intensive care unit and is stable.

The store owner’s father, the second shooting victim, is still in critical condition, but Lim said doctors are saying he will likely survive.

“They’re looking on the bright side,” she said, adding that that wasn’t the case last week when it came to the man’s injuries. He has had at least three surgeries since the shooting.
