Two St. Louis Police officers are in the hospital after being shot Wednesday night while answering a home alarm call in Baden. The officers had been called to a boarded up home in the 900 block of Elias Avenue about 11 p.m.
Police say a man at the home fired shots at the officers without warning.
The officers returned fire, striking the suspect several times. He's in critical condition at St. Louis University Hospital.
Both officers were taken to Barnes Hospital. A 31 year old female officer was shot in the foot. A 26 year old male officer was shot in the back. Both are expected to recover.
