ST. LOUIS — Two men have been charged in a shootout at the MetroLink station that left a mother injured.
Antoine La’Ron Jones, 23, and Antreion Betts, 19, are both charged with one count of unlawful possession of a weapon.
The counts stem from a shooting at the Delmar Link MetroLink station at about 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 12.
The men started shooting “at a group of subjects while a gun battle ensued,” the charging documents stated. Police believe Jones and Bett shot at each other. Jones was shot in the leg, police said.
One bullet also hit a 23-year-old woman who was standing nearby. The woman shielded her 1-year-old and 9-month-old children from the gunfire, police said. She suffered a gunshot wound to her leg and is expected to recover.
