BONNE TERRE, Mo. A gunman opened fire at an apartment complex Tuesday, killing three people but leaving two children unharmed before turning the gun on himself, authorities said.
Bonne Terre Police Chief Doug Calvert said he found a woman, 37, and her boyfriend, 32, dead inside a duplex at Boulder Creek Apartments in Bonne Terre, about 50 miles southwest of St. Louis in St. Francois County. He also found a 3-year-old boy who didn't appear to be harmed.
"I grabbed the child in my arms and handed him off to officers to drive to safety," Calvert said.
Outside the duplex, Calvert found another woman shot in a sport utility vehicle. He said she appeared to have been trying to protect a second young child who was in the vehicle. The 18-month-old boy was taken to safety while the woman, 19, was rushed to a hospital, where she died, he said.
Calvert said he saw a man running away from the duplex toward a highway, but as police approached, the 25-year-old man shot himself in nearby woods.
