EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (AP) — Police say three people were arrested in East St. Louis, hours after a shooting in the southern Illinois city that wounded at least seven people.
Police say it was a wild incident that included a getaway car crashing into a commuter train.
The shooting occurred Thursday afternoon, across the Mississippi River from St. Louis.
No details were released about the condition of the seven victims, which included a child, or a possible motive.
After the shooting, a vehicle collided with a MetroLink train, and the people in the car fled.
Police say three suspects were arrested early Friday in the basement of a partially demolished building in East St. Louis.
