A large group of supporters marched Monday night from St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church in south St. Louis to the intersection where the 46-year-old officer was shot without provocation Sunday night. The officer was struck twice in the face but is recovering after being treated at a hospital. Police have not disclosed his name.
