The Scene of Double Shooting in Apparent Murder-SuicideBREAKING NEWS: Police say one man, one woman killed in apparent murder-suicide at St. Louis

Police say two people are dead after a man shot and killed a woman inside a St. Louis-area shopping mall, then turned the gun on himself. The murder-suicide happened near the Sears store on the lower level of the Jamestown Mall in Florissant, Mo. An eyewitness store owner told FOX News that there was no sign of any yelling or shouting before he heard the gunshots ring out. He saw a man shoot a woman he knows and then turn the revolver on himself. "I didn't hear any yelling — no loud talking or anything," said Marwin Adair, who said he didn't recognize the man. "I heard pow, pow! He wasn't really looking angry or crazy or anything like that. It's a big shock."
"We got several calls, obviously,"St. Louis County spokeswoman Tracy Panus told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. When authorities got to the mall, they found that a man and a woman had been shot, Panus said.Names of the victims, and their relationship, have not been released.
