Two men died at a hospital, a third was listed in critical condition, and a fourth suspected victim was believed to have been shot in the leg but hasn't turned up at a hospital yet.

When the incident happened, the funeral home was holding a funeral for David Davis, a 27-year-old man who was gunned down behind a St. Louis home Nov. 19. Authorities believed the shooting was related to that funeral, Sack said.

Police are investigating a shooting in the norther section of St. Louis. Police responded after shots were fired at the Reliable Funeral Home news reports say.

Reports say a funeral was taking place at the time but it is unclear if the two are connected.

Police say one victim, who had been shot in the face, showed up at St. Louis University Hospital.

One victim was critically hurt and taken by ambulance to another hospital.

A third victim was in serious condition. Police say they couldn't find the fourth victim, who reportedly had been shot in the leg.

Video of the incident shows police on scene at the Reliable Funeral Home, with a section of the area cordoned off to the public.

Earlier, in Bonne Terre, Missouri four people died in an apparent murder-suicide.

....a man entered an apartment on Raider Road, shooting and killing two people inside. One of the victims, a woman, made it out of the apartment, but died shortly after being taken to a nearby hospital. The shooter killed himself in the nearby woods.
