Suspect killed and St. Louis officer injured after shootout in Midtown St. Louis Jack Hammer – We are often told by mush-mouth city officials that “St. Louis has a Gun Problem”. Wrong! St. Louis has a Felon in Possession of a firearm problem. The problem must be accurately described in order to find the correct solution. Remove the violent criminals from the streets and guess what? Crime rate drops. June 6, 2019 ST. LOUIS (by KMOV4 CBS Staff ) – A fugitive wanted by US Marshals was killed while exchanging gunfire with St. Louis police officers Thursday afternoon. St. Louis Police Chief John Hayden identified the outlaw as, Rodnell Cotton, age 26 (see photo below). Chief Hayden said the US Marshals Service contacted St. Louis police about assisting in taking a suspect (Cotton) into custody. Cotton was considered armed and dangerous; he had a federal weapons charge and homicide warrant out for his arrest. ![]() Officers spotted the suspect driving a car with stolen license tags on Martin Luther King Drive near the Vandeventer area. The police deployed a tire-deflation device to stop the vehicle. Police said the suspect vehicle sped away after hitting the device, but did not get far on a flat tire. He lost control and hit a curb at Theresa St. and Sam Shepard Drive. The car came to a stop; the suspect bolted out of the car with a duffel bag and began to run from the police. The suspect was pursued by two SLP officers. According to police, the suspect turned and fired his weapon, striking a St. Louis police sergeant in the thigh of his leg. The second police officer exchanged gunfire with the suspect, killing him and ending the gunfight. According to a police spokesman, authorities confiscated two illegal firearms from the scene. The weapons in possession by Cotton were described as a loaded .40 caliber Taurus semi-auto pistol with a live cartridge in the chamber and three in the magazine. Also recovered was a loaded .223 Bushmaster AR-style pistol with a bullet in the chamber and a drum magazine with 60 live rounds inside the suspect’s bag at that scene. Jeff Roorda with the Police Officer's Association applauds the quick-thinking of the officers on the scene for applying two tourniquets on the injured officer. "I heard it straight from the wounded sergeant; one of the SL officers and US Marshals applied a tourniquet and did it right, which is not always the way it happens," Roorda said. "That saved his life. He was bleeding heavily until the tourniquet.” The suspect, Rodnell Cotton, was pronounced dead at the scene. The wounded officer was taken to the hospital and currently is in critical yet stable condition. 2 men arrested and charged with murder & armed robber Jack Hammer – The armed robbers are becoming more and more trigger happy.
