GEL BLASTERS SEIZED: 4th District officers responded to 6th and Locust after being alerted by MetroLink to several juveniles firing electric gel blasters, very similar to airsoft guns, at another group firing gel blasters.

Officers found three 16-year-olds and a 19-year-old in possession of the gel blasters. A 17-year-old had extra gel ammo.

One of the 16-year-olds was taken to Juvenile Detention for a probation violation. The other juveniles were taken to Central Patrol where they were released to their guardians. The 19-year-old was identified and released pending further investigation by detectives.

If you’re a victim or have information about these gel blaster assaults, please call District 4 detectives at (314) 444-2500.
