ST. LOUIS • A motorist waiting at a red light in downtown St. Louis was shot several times late Tuesday night by someone in another vehicle, police say.

The 26-year-old man, whose name was not released, was shot at 18th and Olive streets just before 11 p.m. Tuesday. He was in critical condition at an area hospital, police said Wednesday night.

The man was shot at about 10:50 p.m. Tuesday as he sat in a car at a red light in a westbound lane of Olive. Someone in a passing vehicle fired shots at him, police say. Katie O'Sullivan, a police department spokeswoman, said the victim was alone in the car. Police couldn't find any witnesses.

Police say they have no description of the gunman or the vehicle the gunman used, but said they do not believe the shooting was random.
