ST. LOUIS (AP) — A school employee who was shot in the arm while riding in a car on the Washington University campus told investigators that road rage was behind the incident that led to a 90-minute lockdown Wednesday, suburban St. Louis police said.
Clayton Police Chief Kevin Murphy said both the woman and the driver of the car she was in said they had argued with someone in a black sport utility vehicle just before the shooting and that the SUV then drove away. Murphy said the woman told police she didn't know who shot her.
No arrests had been made as of Wednesday evening.
The woman, whose name was not released by police, was taken to a hospital for treatment. Murphy said she was expected to survive. University officials said the woman was a campus food service worker.
The shooting happened about 1:30 p.m. near the student union and performing arts building, along a road that separates the main campus from the university's primary residential housing area. The private university is located on the border of the city of St. Louis and St. Louis County.
