Police said no suspects were in custody some five hours after the shooting, which was reported shortly after 5:30 p.m. local time.
A St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman, Schron Jackson, said she was unable to provide any details about the victims, any assailants or circumstances of the shooting.
She said one victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and the three others were transported to a hospital, where they were all listed in critical condition.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported the shooting occurred at a convenience store but had few other details. Jackson said one of the victims was discovered near a store located at an intersection a block away from the shooting scene.
There was no indication that the incident was related to recent protests in the St. Louis area and elsewhere over the use of deadly force by police.
The St. Louis suburb of Ferguson erupted in demonstrations after a white police officer fatally shot an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, 18, in August. A new wave of unrest flared when a grand jury decided last month to spare the officer from prosecution.
A New York grand jury sparked renewed demonstrations across the country when it decided earlier this month not to indict a white police officer for the chokehold death of Eric Garner, 43, an unarmed 43-year-old black man stopped by police for illegally peddling cigarettes on the street.
Violence flared again early Wednesday after a young black said by police to have brandished a gun was shot to death by a white policeman in Berkeley, another St. Louis suburb.

I like how they are not saying what color the people are who were shot and I have seen no video of who the shooter was and it took place at a store and we all know they have a system to tape what took place

Clearly, MO has been chosen as ground zero for the race war.

"#blacklivesmatter" - LOL.

So, if "Black Lives Matter," why do so many Blacks kill other Blacks?

I'm stumped.

I'd love to fully understand the function of the hashtag as it relates to mass mind control and influence on social discourse. Seems to be a powerful tool worth studying.

Obama is my Shepherd; I shall not work.
He maketh me to lie down and watch Oprah:
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my bling:
He leadeth me in the paths of idleness for Barrack's name sake.



Yea, though I walk through the valley of the sharing of the wealth,
I will fear no workfare: For thou art funding me;
Thy gaht and thy blade, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of people who actually produce;
Thou annointest my teeth with gold; My crack pipe runneth over.



Surely rebates and Earned Income Credits shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Obama forever

The hashtag the symbol is irrelevant. What it points to has been studied for a long, long time. It's called mass psychology:

The medium is different, the dynamics the same.

I read that a cop was nearby and saw the perp with a gun then said, "Fuck it, it's not worth the trouble."

I disagree... symbolism is a very effective primer for mass control. The hashtag is not trivial. I mean, it doesn't have to be a hashtag specifically, but it being there is contemporarily significant, more so now that every idea on the internet #hasbecomeoneword. I'll read the wiki article you posted for sure.

Yes, symbols are powerful, but ABCDEFG... are also symbols. Language is "magic" - anyone can conjure up a desired image in the target's head with carefully-selected words.

I believe the hashtag for Twitter is just a pointer, without loaded meaning. I could be wrong.

By NOT saying, the code is easily broken. The attacker is a nigger and the victims are likely white.

[Tumbleweed]

"#blacklivesmatter" - LOL.

So, "Black Lives Matter," why do so many Blacks kill other Blacks?

It matters most to a lot of people that some of these niggers are dead rather than alive.
