ST. LOUIS, MO (KMOV) — A man carjacked a woman and threatened to shoot her when she stopped for gas in north St. Louis, according to police.

Just before 9 a.m. Thursday the 41-year-old woman stopped to get gas at the Gulf Gas Station at 5750 Natural Bridge. Police said while she was pumping gas, a man got into her car’s driver’s seat.

The woman got out of the car and the suspect then drove off.
