ST. LOUIS (AP) — An 8-year-old St. Louis boy went to school and told an office worker he had been shot, after his mother exchanged gunfire with a man who tried to force his way into a home, police said Tuesday.
Both mother and child were hospitalized in stable condition as police searched for a suspect in the shooting, the latest of several that have plagued St. Louis over the past 13 months.

Officers found a large amount of marijuana inside the family’s home, police said, though they did not say whether it was a possible motive in the attempted break-in.
