Four people shot outside funeral home during service for murder victim
Four people have been injured during a shooting rampage outside a funeral home in Missouri.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that one of the victims was shot in the face at Reliable Funeral Home and has been taken to St. Louis University hospital.
Another victim was listed in critical condition at a nearby hospital, the report said, with a third victim said to be in serious condition.
Chief Dan Isom said today's shooting is the product 'of an ongoing feud between gangs in St. Louis.
The funeral taking place was for homicide victim David Terell Davis, Sr.

A witness, who declined to give her name, said she was attending the funeral when she heard loud gunshots.
'Everybody started running,' she said, adding that she heard about eight shots outside the funeral home.
Mr Isom said he's not sure if any shots were actually fired inside the funeral home.
Mr Isom added that one of the victims was dropped off at a hospital but was not taken there by emergency responders.
Two different shell casings were found at the scene on the street in front of the funeral home, but authorities currently believe there was only one shooter.
A woman who answered the phone at Reliable Funeral Home told The Post-Dispatch that the shooting occurred while a funeral was going on, but she didn't know if the shooting was connected to the service.
