ST. LOUIS — Police said two women were shot while standing in front of a home in St. Louis’ North Pointe neighborhood on Thursday.

Just after noon, police were called to the 5900 block of Goodfellow Boulevard for a shooting. When officers arrived, they found two women with gunshot wounds to their abdomens.

Police said the women, ages 19 and 43, were standing outside the home when they heard the gunshots. They both noticed they were shot and called 911.

Police said they were both awake and breathing when first responders arrived on the scene. A spokesperson for the St. Louis Fire Department said the women were both taken to a hospital with serious injuries.

The house was also hit by multiple gunshots while four children and another woman were inside. Neither the children — ages 1, 9, 12 and 14 — nor the woman inside the home were injured in the shooting.

As of 4 p.m., police hadn't provided any information on a suspect.
