Woman defends herself against three male attackers

From St. Louis:

Police say a woman shot at three people this morning when she suspected them of breaking into her apartment building. 

The woman was in her third-floor apartment about 10:30 a.m. at Miami Street and Missouri Avenue when she saw three men coming up the stairs, police said. She fired one shot at the trio, prompting them to run off. It wasn't clear if anyone was shot. 

She was not hurt. Police were looking for three males but did not immediately have descriptions of them Tuesday. . . .
