NORTH ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO (KTVI) - A twenty year old Alton woman is
dead after suffering a gunshot wound while in police custody. The dead
woman’s family says she managed to get the gun away from an Alton police
officer and kill herself. Police have not confirmed or denied any
details from the Wednesday morning shooting.
It happened on the service road to Missouri Highway 367 near Dunn
Road. 20 year old Stephanie Hicks was being driving by that officer to
BJC Christian Hospital on what police referred to as a crisis
intervention.
Family members say Hicks has had a history of mental problems, and
was known to Alton Police. Her mother says the young woman was walking
across the Alton Bridge; on the way to seek help herself, when the Alton
officer, a thirteen year veteran, picked her up. Police confirm he was driving her to the hospital when the shooting happened.
Outside Alton Police Headquarters, Robbin Hicks, the girl’s mother, shared what details she says police had given her.
“She was walking across the bridge to go to the hospital to check
herself in because she knew she needed the help. And the Alton police
were transporting her and she grabbed their gun and she did it,” the
distraught mother said as she choked back tears.

Happened not too far from me. There are quite a few unanswered questions.

@Disturbed Keep us updated. I'm curious to know how she got hold of the gun. Unholstered or not strapped into the holster. Curious indeed. However it went down I bet the cop feels awful.

Really? their skin colours that different and they are related? Either way he needs some exercise in his life and no more of those huge soft drinks. Or he will be costing obamacare his weight in gold...

This all seems a little fishy to me...how did she get his gun? were his hands glued to the steering wheel?

@Stonecold SHe was a passenger in the front seat as he apparently was giving her a "courtesy" ride to the hospital..doesn't take much when he is occupied driving to reach over and grab his pistol..his gun, not his dick LOL

She was on the way to hospital to Help herself whilest having a crisis. Her brother is studying for the cause of cancer and the mother is on her way to Africa to breast feed orphans.
Really don't care about these people or what happens to them anymore...they are pulling us all down with their aliments and mental health issues, they are just freeloading from society.

Love the fat black kid at :35 sipping on his big gulp drank.
Judging by the mother and grandmother's reaction, it looks like they are already seeing dollar signs from the upcoming lawsuit.

It's a good thing you found something interesting in this video to talk about. I was like, "Maan.. How boring! I hope someone on LL makes a witty comment about this video with nothing happening in it!"

The "walking across the bridge to get help" story seems like a mother trying to deny her daughter was going to end her life.

Horrible for the officer. When police handcuff, or put a stress case behind the barrier, they get badgered for treating the person "like a criminal." When they don't, this happens. Can't win - sucks for everybody.
