FLORISSANT, Mo. - A man shot and killed a woman inside a shopping mall outside St. Louis on Wednesday and then killed himself, police said.

No one else was injured but the Jamestown Mall was evacuated.

The motive for the shooting just outside a Sears store had not been determined, said St. Louis County police spokeswoman Tracy Panus.

Authorities did not release the names of the dead or describe their relationship.

Marcus Gwynn said he heard four shots as he was walking into the mall to begin his shift at a Radio Shack store.

"I seen a lady on the ground face down, then he sits on the ground and shot himself in the head," said Gwynn, 21. He described both the man and the woman as in their mid-40s.

Deborah and Michael Mingo said they were shopping at Sears when they heard several shots. She said she asked a clerk about the noise and was told it was likely construction, but a short time later people in the store were telling them to get out.

Police tape was wrapped around the entrance to the food court near the scene of the shooting.

Calls seeking comment from officials of Sears and several other stores in that area of the mall were either unanswered or not returned.

A woman who answered phones in the mall office declined to comment.

Jamestown Mall is in far northern St. Louis County. It has about 60 stores and restaurants.

SCARY!
There was a shooing in one of the malls here just a week ago., luckily no one got "hit". Are they going to have to install metal detectors in all public places now? Then have to provide a concealed weapons permit to enter with one....
