ST. LOUIS - An 8-year-old boy who stepped outside to try to catch an insect in a jar was killed in a hail of gunfire, and his adult cousin was wounded.

It was not immediately clear whether Craig Collins Jr. and his 25-year-old cousin Freddie Pitts were the targets of the shooting or were caught in crossfire. Police said they believe there was more than one gunman.

Investigators said they did not know the motive for the shooting Wednesday. But relatives said they believed the shooting was retaliation for their efforts to report drug dealers in the neighborhood.

The cousins were hit just after leaving their grandmother's house in hopes of catching a praying mantis, family members said. Pitts was shot in the mouth, they said.

They said they had called police on recent nights to report gunfire, and an aunt, Charlotte Webb, said the family had been threatened as recently as Wednesday afternoon. "They said we were going to come back here and do something," she said.

No it is and has been for many decades. It is one of the most useless hellholes on the planet and should simply be nuked.

Non Christian thought ahead:

Gather all the gang members, all the hardcore drug dealers, all the thugs, and everyone else that thinks they are 'badass' to carry a gun and shoot people (not in self defense) and put them all in one stadium. Tell them that the last man standing gets a special gift. Leave and allow them to sort themselves. Then give the last man a gift of a bullet between the eyes.


That was how I felt 10 years ago when I lived just outside of Gary, Indiana.

Sounds entertaining and also very purposeful at the same time. The only problem is you would need one HUGE stadium for all the useless lowlifes these days....might as well put them on an island.

Long time Saint Louis Resident.

It is worse than you know. E. Saint Louis is where all those bullsh!t class-action suits get tried - the courts there are notoriously corrupt so the first step to big money is get a change of venue to E. Saint Louis. Really, all it is is a corrupt court, the most dangerous ghetto you can find, and a collection of strip joints. There is not a single redeeming thing about that place. It should just be carpet bombed.

Welcome to America? You do know that more unfortunate events happen all around the world right? Thinking that such incidents are isolated in only America is just being plain dumb. People who are dumb and senseless are all over this World we call Earth.

Those gang members should be rounded up and sent to Lagos and see how tough they are -- 99% chance they are so pitiful they wont last a day there.

I know...I was born in St. Louis and will NEVER live there EVER. I can't stand most of the state for that matter.
