Guard fires shots at would-be clothes thief
A guard at the Sierra Vista Plaza shopping center at Bellefontaine and Larimore roads in north St. Louis County fired several shots at a burglar who tried to steal clothes from a store early Monday, police said.
The guard noticed the burglar about 1:45 a.m., stepping out of a broken glass window of Wutu Fashions with an armload of clothes, police said. The guard, who works for SSI Global, told police the burglar dropped the clothes and ran to a burgundy Mercury Sable, then pointed a gun at him. That's when he fired.
It was unknown whether the burglar was hit. Police found a small amount of blood in the getaway car, recovered a few blocks from the plaza.
