St. Louis County Police spokeswoman Tracy Panus said the names of the victims wouldn't be released until a news conference this morning.

But several city officials leaving St. John's Mercy Hospital late Thursday said Mayor Mike Swoboda was among the wounded and that he was in critical condition .

Police haven't named the victims or the shooter, but Janet McNichols, a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, identified the gunman as Charles Lee "Cookie" Thornton, a man she knows from covering the council. Thornton had previously disrupted meetings, she told the Post-Dispatch.
