ST. LOUIS — Travis Ford, the head coach of the Saint Louis Billikens mens basketball team for eight seasons, was fired Wednesday night following the team's 83-73 loss to Duquesne in the Atlantic 10 tournament, according to a team source.

St. Louis police made an arrest in one of the three shootings that took place within an hour throughout the city.

Police described the man who shot the woman as standing about 6 feet tall with a stocky build. He is bald and in his mid-40s. The man should be considered armed.

The fire broke out Friday afternoon at Stella Blues Restaurant and Bar in the 3600 block of Morgan Ford Road.

A letter posted to the city's website attributed the closure to "workforce shortages and budgetary issues."

The Billikens were led by guard Kyla McMakin, who scored 20 points, and tournament MVP Peyton Kennedy, who added 19 points.

Police said Deondre Robinson and Patrick Aten were racing each other at "very high speeds" in the 9900 block of South Broadway when the crash happened.
