A man who shot and killed a woman at a Catholic Supply store in a strip mall in St. Louis after she refused to perform a sex act on him has been apprehended by St. Louis County Police. The 53-year-old, Thomas Bruce, was arrested in connection to the murder of the victim, 53-year-old married mother-of-three Jamie Schmidt, and is expected to face an array of charges.
According to the Daily Mail, Bruce entered the store at around 3 p.m. on Monday, November 19, and pretended to be a customer before forcing Schmidt and two other women who have not been named to the back of the store at gunpoint. He then forced them to take off their clothes and ordered them to perform sexual acts on him.
