A 17-year-old boy from Freeburg allegedly shot at a Vienna Quik Spot gas station, located at 104 U.S. 63, around 2 a.m. Sunday, according to a press release from the City of Vienna.
The Osage County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to ABC 17 News that the juvenile damaged two other gas stations in Osage county. One in his hometown of Freeburg and the other in Westphalia.
The gun was seized and the juvenile was deferred to the Missouri Juvenile Office, the release says.
According to the release, Vienna police officers found damage to the door of the gas station from four gunshots.
One side of the door was completely shattered, and is now boarded up.
An Osage County deputy, Maries County deputy, an off-duty Belle police officer and a Vienna police officer chased the boy in a vehicle pursuit, according to the release. The chase ended with a foot chase through a wooded area near Osage County Road 552.
Quik Spot closed Saturday at 10 p.m. and didn’t open until 7 the next morning. Employees at the gas station told ABC 17 News no one was in the building when the shots were fired.
ABC 17 reached out to the owner of the gas station.
The Vienna Police Department is investigating the incident.
