ST. LOUIS (AP) - Authorities say a man and woman were fatally shot in St. Louis during a day marked by violence.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. Sunday in the Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood in the northern part of the city. The scene is near a high-crime area where Police Chief John Hayden has pledged to focus resources.

Police say both victims were shot multiple times. Their names weren’t immediately released.



The shootings capped a violent day in which a 40-year-old man was shot to death and another man was shot and critically wounded in an attempted robbery.
