ST. LOUIS (AP) - Authorities say a man’s shooting rampage at a St. Louis apartment left three wounded, one critically.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 23-year-old Rodney Roberson was charged Thursday with 11 felonies, including assault and resisting arrest. No attorney is listed for him in online court records.

Authorities say it started Wednesday when his cousin called police because he had threatened to shoot her after she accused him stealing $600.



Court records say he waited until police left and forced his way into her apartment, where he shot and critically wounded her mother’s boyfriend. Before leaving, Roberson fired into another bedroom, missing a 16-year-old and a 5-year-old. Once outside, he fired into another apartment, piercing the walls and striking one person in the shoulder and grazing the elbow of another person.
