EAST ST. LOUIS • Police arrested a suspect late Sunday night for shooting an East St. Louis police officer at about 3 p.m. Sunday.
Capt. James Morrisey with Illinois State Police said police arrested the suspect at 11:20 p.m. Sunday in an apartment in the Rukavina Building at 2903 Waverly Avenue in East St. Louis. Police did not identify the suspect. U.S. marshals and the Illinois State Police made the arrest.
Morrisey said more information would be released on Monday.
The officer, Michael Baxton Jr., was shot in the jaw at the Orr Weathers apartment complex while trying to arrest a fugitive, police said.
Baxton was in serious condition at St. Louis University Hospital and was talking to family members, a police spokeswoman said. Baxton was expected to survive. He is 26 and has been with the force for about four years. He had been laid off in 2010 and was called back late last year.
Near the scene, police took at least two men and two women into custody for questioning. Then they focused on an 11-story building in the housing complex where a man was said to be on the sixth floor. Dozens of police officers from across the Metro East, and at least two FBI agents, surrounded the building for hours. Officers removed several people from the building for their safety.
"They have the place secured where they think the suspect is," Francella Jackson, an East St. Louis police spokeswoman, said Sunday night. "We are in a holding pattern. We are confident we are going to find the man who did this to our officer."
The Orr Weathers apartment complex was used as a backdrop Feb. 22 for U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin's press conference about a new federally funded program for security measures at six high-rise housing complex buildings.
Baxton is the son of Michael Baxton Sr., the former East St. Louis police chief who is awaiting sentencing on federal charges. The elder Baxton was first hired as chief in 2007 but resigned in February 2009 after a rocky tenure. He was hired back in November 2011. He had served as police chief in Alorton before returning to East St. Louis.
In January, the elder Baxton resigned from East St. Louis and, one day later, pleaded guilty in federal court to two felony charges. He had been snared in an FBI sting while in Alorton, caught stealing Xbox 360 game systems.

An 18-year-old and his 15-year-old brother are facing attempted first-degree murder charges following a shooting in Bear on Tuesday night that left a 19-year-old acquaintance critically wounded, police said.
Shawn M. Kadel, 18, and Justin Kadel, 15, also are each charged with possession of a firearm during a felony and conspiracy in the shooting, which New Castle County police spokesman Cpl. John Weglarz Sr. said may have been drug-related.
The shooting occurred shortly after 6 p.m. Tuesday in the parking lot of Apple Chase Apartments, in the 2200 block of Ashkirk Drive.
Witnesses told police that a black SUV was parked behind a dark green Mitsubishi Eclipse in the parking lot and they saw a teen with blonde hair arguing with someone who police said was a 19-year-old woman. Police said in court records that she was described by some witnesses as a male because her hair is closely cropped in a "fade" style.
When the argument became a fight, an older male got out the driver's door of the Eclipse and fired shots in the woman's direction, according to court records.
He and the younger teen then took off in the Eclipse.
The woman got into the black SUV and drove toward Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar in the adjacent Sunset Station Shopping Center on U.S. 40, police said.
Restaurant manager Corey Robinson said the woman's car started turning into the parking lot and stopped. The woman got out of the car and collapsed.
A customer who was inside the restaurant picking up a takeout order ran out and administered first aid to the woman until paramedics arrived, Robinson said.
"I think why she drove here is because it's a well-known spot and she felt safe and could receive some help," he said.
Before being taken to the hospital, the woman told a state trooper that Shawn Kadel shot her, according to court records.
Paramedics rushed her to Christiana Hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery for a gunshot wound to the right side of her face and a gunshot wound to her left breast that appeared to have exited out of her back, police said in court records.
I know all parties involved. Made it that much more crazy.

Atlanta weather | Tornado-damaged Paulding school reopens
Students returned to class Monday morning at a Paulding County elementary school that was in the 29-mile path of a strong tornado that damaged over 150 buildings in the county Friday night.
The tornado took part of the roof off one of three classroom wings at Poole Elementary School, and tossed around portable classroom trailers that were being used for storage.
School officials moved students from the classrooms in the damaged wing to other parts of the school, and spent the weekend cleaning up debris from the school grounds.
“Things look great this morning, other than the roof gone,” said Cliff Cole, superintendent of Paulding County schools. “The inside of the building looks great.”
He said the damaged wing had been blocked off to students.
“Our first priority is the safety of the students and the staff here,” Cole told the AJC.
“Once we had our engineers out here and they checked out every structural part of the building, and once they determined it was safe, it was our job to prepare the rest of the building,” he said. “We worked two days going through the grounds to make sure there is no debris on the ground.”
Cole said that while some parts of the building would be “a little more crowded, we anticipate a regular school day.”
He said that some students from another of the county’s schools, Robert Elementary, came to Poole on Sunday with $300 in school supplies that they had collected in their neighborhood, and gave the supplies to teachers.
“Just to see these young ladies out doing that, and thinking about their peers at this school, it tells you something about this community,” Cole said.
“Attendance looks normal,” Cole said after classes began. “Students, I think, were just relieved to be back into the building.”
“I feel bad for my teachers,” said Blake Baker, one of the students whose classroom was in the damaged wing of the school.
The school invited any parents with concerns about the building’s safety to attend an 8 a.m. meeting in the school’s media center. Only five parents were at the meeting, Cole said.
“I trust the school system,” said Jonathan Paris, whose daughter is a second-grader. "They would not put our children in harm’s way, and if there was anything that would jeopardize our children's safety, they wouldn’t allow it to happen."
Paris lives in the Vista Lake subdivision a short distance away from the school.
“It was a miracle that it missed our house,” Paris said. “Right across the street, there’s homes damaged. It’s a blessing.”
The National Weather Service confirmed Sunday night that an EF-3 tornado with wind speeds up to 165 mph cut a 29-mile path of destruction through Haralson and Paulding counties west of Atlanta Friday night, while a second, EF-1 tornado with winds estimated at 100 mph was on the ground for a mile in east Cobb County.
The most significant damage was in Paulding County, where the tornado ripped into the county's airport and a couple of neighboring subdivisions.
Altogether, at least 161 Paulding County structures were damaged in the storm, said MaryAnn Phipps, coordinator and spokeswoman for Paulding Emergency Management and Fire Department. Officials reported that 10 homes had major damage, 58 homes had moderate damage, 92 homes had minor damage and one church was also damaged.
The Weather Service said the tornado first touched down in Haralson County at 8:09 p.m. Friday, leaving a 29-mile, 200-yard wide path of destruction into Paulding County over the next 39 minutes.
The weaker Cobb County tornado touched down along Roswell Road near Providence Road at 9:14 p.m., and lasted for about a minute.
Authorities said Friday night's storms left one person dead in Alpharetta. The body of Patricia Barnett, 83, was found in a creek early Saturday after more than two dozen Alpharetta emergency personnel searched for the woman reported missing late Friday. They believe she had climbed into a drain pipe to escape the storm.
At its height, the storm had cut power to about 10,000 homes, according to Georgia Power spokesman Mark Williams.
Company crews worked through the night Friday and through the day Saturday so that power to those residences had been restored by Sunday morning, he said. The worst of the damage was in and around Smyrna, Williams said. "That took awhile. But most places it was just trees on the line." At mid-day Sunday, there were "some scattered outages across the state," Williams said. "But that's because it's kind of windy. The storm damage was pretty much taken care of."
Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Karen Minton said Monday will be mostly sunny, cool and breezy, with highs in the mid-50s. A wind advisory is in effect for metro Atlanta from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and a freeze warning has been posted for Monday night, when lows are expected to drop into the low 30s.
Tuesday will be sunny and cool, with highs in the mid-50s and lows Tuesday night in the low 40s. A midweek warm-up will push temperatures back into the low 70s by Thursday, Minton said.
Wayside Baptist Church in Paulding postponed its regular Sunday service to 4 p.m. The service was to be held outdoors, after the building was seriously damaged by the violent storm, knocking off the church's steeple and ripping off its roof. However church leaders decided to go ahead with services in the sanctuary, according to member Dana Bell, daughter-in-law to the church's pastor, Billy Bell.
Though crews had to replace a wall and a roof at the school, Poole Elementary was expected to open and ready for students on Monday morning, according to the Paulding County school district website. "We want to assure you that our facility is safe, and instruction will go on as usual," school officials said.
The Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport in Dallas closed indefinitely after taking a direct hit. An airport hangar was destroyed, along with its contents. At least 10 planes were damaged. Officials said they do not know how long it will take to reopen.
At a news conference Saturday morning, airport official Blake Swafford said 19 of 23 planes were totaled, including a Citation jet worth $1.2 million, according to Channel 2 Action News. Damage to the airport was estimated at $5 million. Facility damages totaling $2 million includes a hangar, terminal, fences and lamp posts, Swafford said.

A 23-year old Washington Park man died early Sunday after being shot in the chest as he walked from a local club to his vehicle.
Steven Holmes, of 1249 N. 41 St. Street, Washington Park, was leaving Club 103, formerly Jesse's, in the 100 block of Collinsville Ave., when he was shot. He was pronounced dead at 4:41 a.m. at St. Louis University Hospital.
East St. Louis Police Chief Michael Floore said the shooting is still under investigation.
.Story: Two men shot outside Club Flava in East St. Louis Steven Holmes
Floore said a motive for the shooting has not been established, but a gray Buick was being processed at the scene, along with what appeared to be the dark green mini-van belonging to the victim.
Both vehicles have Illinois license plates.
Several vehicles belonging to patrons of Club 103 were also shot.
An unidentified man, whose vehicle had been hit, said, "I don't know nothing. I was inside of the club." He said he just wanted to get in his truck and go home.
Bullets had struck the back of the truck, causing the rear window to shatter.
Yellow crime scene tape stretched beyond Club 103 down Main Street. Police cars with flashing lights blocked traffic on Collinsville Avenue, Division Street and Main Street.
As a result of the shooting, Mayor Alvin L. Parks, Jr. released a statement saying that effective immediately, "the city has suspended all non-casino sales of liquor after 1 a.m., until further notice, in order to re-stabilize the community's health and safety."
In his statement, Parks acknowledged the recent rash of violence in East St. Louis
"The city extends its sympathies to all families involved," Parks said.
Two men were shot early Saturday morning as they were leaving an Club Flava in East St. Louis.

WACO- Police say William Charles Webb, the man accused of getting his 8-month-old baby drunk, was re-arrested just hours after being released from jail on Saturday for trying to set fire to a home where a family member lives.
Waco Police report that Webb, 27, bonded out of jail of jail on Saturday, then went to a house in the 2200 block of Cumberland and poured gasoline around the house. Because of the wet weather conditions, Webb wasn't able to set the home on fire.
Police say he also slashed tires on several cars at the property, and threatened a victim, while violating a protective order filed because of his violent past.
Officers tracked Webb down to his mother's house in the 1800 block of Pine in Waco, where he was hiding. Waco Police, with the help of a K-9 unit, arrested Webb and took him to McLennan County Jail.
Webb's charges include Arson, two counts of Criminal Mischief, Violation of a Protection Order, Retaliation and Threats. McLennan County Jail administrators were still waiting for a judge to set Webb's bail at 3:00 on Sunday; however, a 24-hour hold prevents Webb from being released within the full day.

EAST ST. LOUIS, Il. (KMOV) – The police are asking for the public’s help to bring a rash of shootings to an end.
Police believe the eleven shootings this week are possibly connected. Eight of the shootings have been drive-by shootings that have taken place since the Club 103 shooting.
East St. Louis Police gave News 4 surveillance video of two men who are considered “persons of interest” in the shooting at Club 103 on Sunday. The video showed the two men leaving the club shortly after the shooting.
The shirt of one of the men reads “R.I.P. Dre.” Police say “Dre” was killed in December and believe one of the shootings may have been in retaliation for his death.

EAST ST. LOUIS (KPLR)– Retaliation in East St. Louis after a man is murdered outside of a night club Sunday night.
Since then, police say nearly a dozen homes linked to the suspects have been hit with gunfire.
Thursday East St. Louis Police released surveillance video in hopes of identifying the suspects before an innocent bystander is hurt.
The surveillance video shows two men leaving Club 103, which is directly behind the police station on Sunday night right after the shooting.
Police say the two are suspected of murdering 23-year old Steven Holmes.
Police say since Holmes’ death people affiliated with Holmes and the suspects have waged a gun war against each other.
Police say they want these two men in custody before someone else is killed.
Authorities obtained the surveillance video from a number of cameras surrounding the club.
Police say this first clip could be the key to identifying one of the men.
He`s wearing a red tee-shirt with RIP DRE on the back.
Police say that refers to another man who was killed last year.
The next shot shows the two turning a corner and walking down the street near club 103.
Watch as one of the suspects ducks into a doorway as a car drives by.
Police say the other man has a distinctive walk.
He’s pigeon-toed.
Finally, the two walk through a bank parking lot.
One guy’s hands are in his pockets as the other checks over his shoulder.
East St. Louis police say since the shooting Sunday night near Club 103, the two groups are in a gun war.
Chief Michael Floore said, ‘It’s vital and very important that we bring this to a halt. Innocent people are going to get killed if we don`t stop it and we really don’t know the whole jest to why all these shootings are going on.’
Police suspect most of the problems are linked to drugs and gangs
Since then, police say nearly a dozen homes linked to the suspects have been hit with gunfire.
Thursday East St. Louis Police released surveillance video in hopes of identifying the suspects before an innocent bystander is hurt.
The surveillance video shows two men leaving Club 103, which is directly behind the police station on Sunday night right after the shooting.
Police say the two are suspected of murdering 23-year old Steven Holmes.
Police say since Holmes’ death people affiliated with Holmes and the suspects have waged a gun war against each other.
Police say they want these two men in custody before someone else is killed.
Authorities obtained the surveillance video from a number of cameras surrounding the club.
Police say this first clip could be the key to identifying one of the men.
He`s wearing a red tee-shirt with RIP DRE on the back.
Police say that refers to another man who was killed last year.
The next shot shows the two turning a corner and walking down the street near club 103.
Watch as one of the suspects ducks into a doorway as a car drives by.
Police say the other man has a distinctive walk.
He’s pigeon-toed.
Finally, the two walk through a bank parking lot.
One guy’s hands are in his pockets as the other checks over his shoulder.
East St. Louis police say since the shooting Sunday night near Club 103, the two groups are in a gun war.
Chief Michael Floore said, ‘It’s vital and very important that we bring this to a halt. Innocent people are going to get killed if we don`t stop it and we really don’t know the whole jest to why all these shootings are going on.’

Pinkett Smith's aunt 'taken aback' by SRB's dig

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake wasn't exactly jumping when Jada Pinkett Smith asked for her help in protecting elephants earlier this week.
The mayor more or less says she had bigger fish to fry -- that and the actress didn't help her out when the city needed it.
But Friday Pinkett Smith's aunt, who runs the Baltimore-based charity of the actress, said her niece has done quite a bit for the city -- and she's a surprised that the mayor doesn't remember it.
"People listening to what [the mayor] said would think Jada Pinkett hasn't done anything for Baltimore and that's not true," said Karen Evans, "I wanted to set the record straight."
Evans also fired off a letter to City Hall, telling the mayor: "Your response to her letter was disturbing, irresponsible, inflammatory and inaccurate."
Earlier this week, Pinkett Smith, working with the animal activist group PETA, sent Rawlings-Blake a letter, writing, she wrote, "as a mother and proud Baltimore native."
Pinkett Smith wanted to make sure no elephants were jabbed with bullhooks during the upcoming performance of Ringling Bros. Circus’ at 1st Mariner Arena. The pointed tools are commonly used to coax the animals into performing at the show.
"Unlike me and other actors, elephants do not choose to perform," Pinkett Smith wrote. "These endangered elephants will soon be in your jurisdiction. My friends at PETA and I join animal advocates across the state in asking for your leadership in holding Ringling accountable and requiring the circus to comply with Baltimore’s absolute prohibition of the use of devices such as bullhooks."
But Rawlings-Blake wan't moved, telling WJZ that since the actress hasn't helped with Baltimore's big issues, she wasn't too concerned about the elephant. Plus, she really likes the circus.
“We’ve reached out about homelessness, about school issues,” Rawlings-Blake told WJZ. “I would have loved to gotten some feedback, support or concern about those issues that are very pressing to the city.”
Evans said she was "just really taken aback" by the mayor's undercut.
She pointed out the million dollars Pinkett Smith gave to the Baltimore School for the Arts in 2006. The yearly contributions to Associated Black Charities. Money for the Park Heights Community Health Alliance. Money to help area schools buy books. Money for the James Mosher Little League.
"The mayor should take a little more time in her responses," Evans said. "I just was very disappointed in her."
Meanwhile, Evans also didn't understand why the mayor didn't take Pinkett Smith's concern about the elephants seriously.
"Jada," she said, "is an animal activist and she believes all living things have a right to be treated humanely."
Evans concluded her letter to the mayor: "Jada is a proud Baltimorean who has generously given back to her hometown and will continue to do so. I hope that at the end of your administration you will be able to say that you have made as positive an impact as she has."

Bullet Riddled Car Found In East St. Louis

A lot of questions and not a lot of answers concerning a car being shot in eAst St. Louis overnight. FOX 2 crews pulled up as a car full of bullet holes was being towed away.
It is believed that Illinois state police and the FBI fired shots at the car, but no other information is available as to what may have caused the gunfire.
