Police: Student shoots administrator, then himself at downtown St. Louis college
HERE UPDATED at 6:30 p.m. with comment from college faculty member.
ST. LOUIS • A long-time employee of Stevens Institute of Business & Arts was shot by a student in a dispute over financial aid Tuesday afternoon, police said.
The student then shot himself in a stairwell.
Both men were in surgery Tuesday afternoon and St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said he was “hopeful” they would survive after the shooting.
Authorities said the victim, financial aid director Greg Elsenrath, was shot in the chest by a student with a handgun in a fourth-floor office about 2 p.m., police said. The suspected shooter then went to a stairwell between the third and fourth floors and shot himself. Dotson said a gun was found with the man.
The suspected shooter was an on-again, off-again student for the last four years, Dotson said. Police said the student, in his mid-30s, was familiar to faculty and to the victim.
“This did not appear to be random,” Dotson said. “It appeared to be targeted.”
A police source identified the injured shooter as Sean Johnson, 34, of the 5300 block of Cote Brilliante Avenue. Johnson was put on probation in 2011 after slashing at a man with a box cutter. Court records from the case indicate Johnson had mental health issues and was on prescribed medication. Full report HERE
