An off-duty St. Louis police officer was killed in an "accidental shooting" early Thursday in another officer's home, officials said.
The victim, a 24-year-old woman, was at a home in Carondelet with two on-duty officers just after 1 a.m. CT (2 a.m. ET) when the shooting happened, Chief John Hayden said at a news conference outside St. Louis University Hospital where she died.
Hayden said two male officers went to one of their homes during their shift. The female officer stopped by and at some point was accidentally shot in the chest, he said. The two other officers took her to the hospital.
The chief said police are working to determine whose gun was used and if it was a service weapon. He would not comment on what happened at the home at the time of the shooting or why the three officers were there. There was no call for service before the shooting.
