St. Louis, famously known as the Gateway to the West, has become America's reigning murder capital and a symbol of urban decay-trends accelerated in recent years by a soft-on-crime mayor and a social justice-minded prosecutor.
Four St. Louis police officers were shot in one night.
Over the past four years, violent crime in St. Louis has skyrocketed, rivaling record-high levels spanning from the 1970s through the 1990s.
Last week, former Missouri governor Eric Greitens rendered first aid to two young men riddled with dozens of bullets near the campus of St. Louis University.
In January 2020, Gardner filed a federal civil rights suit against the City of St. Louis, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, and the St. Louis police union, alleging a racist conspiracy to oust her from office, in violation of the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.
Gardner soon appeared on PBS to declare St. Louis "Ground zero" for criminal-justice reform efforts and likened any attempt to hold her accountable to a "Modern-day night ride."
In 2015, a St. Louis police sergeant was shot outside a local coffee spot frequented by Washington University students.
