Police: Retired St. Louis Police Captain Killed Amid Unrest

Police say a 77-year-old retired St. Louis police officer was shot and killed by people who had broken into a pawn shop during unrest that followed a peaceful protest over the death of George Floyd.

David Dorn was found dead on the sidewalk in front of Lee’s Pawn & Jewelry. Police have not released details of what led to the shooting about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday and no one has been arrested.

The shooting and theft at the pawn shop apparently was posted on Facebook Live, but the video has since been taken down.
