ST. LOUIS - With several large cities eyed for President Donald Trump’s list of National Guard deployment, some are questioning if St. Louis may end up on the list.

Just this past weekend, the city saw over four shootings in just one hour on Sunday, Sept. 7. According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD), one person was fatally shot, and eight others were injured.

In January, St. Louis officials reported that crime was on the decline in the city, referencing a report on crime statistics in 2024.

At the time, St. Louis Police Chief Robert Tracy credited the decline in crime to a modern, data-driven approach to fighting crime and the introduction of new transparency tools, such as crime mapping and an updated website.
