ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – One person is in custody after ramming a St. Louis County park ranger’s vehicle while fleeing a north county park Saturday evening. The ranger fired his service weapon at the fleeing vehicle.

According to Sgt. Tracy Panus, a spokeswoman for the St. Louis County Police Department, the shooting occurred around 8:15 p.m. in the 3000 block of Adie Road.

The ranger fired his weapon at that vehicle. A person of interest was taken into custody a short time later. That individual was not injured by the gunfire.
