ST. LOUIS _ Police arrested a 14-year-old boy who investigators say shot an off-duty St. Louis police officer about midnight Sunday while the officer was working a security detail downtown, authorities said.
The officer was the sixth to be shot and wounded since June 1. He was shot in the arm and is expected to make a full recovery.
The 14-year-old is the one who pulled the trigger, firing shots into the officer's unmarked security vehicle, police said. The teen and a 16-year-old boy were arrested in connection to the shooting near Convention Plaza and North 10th Street.
