ST. LOUIS -- More troubles for servicemen visiting St. Louis.

Police are trying to find the source of an apparent stray bullet that struck a 19-year-old Soldier from Fort Leonard Wood as he was leaving the St. Louis Cardinals game with fellow Soldiers last weekend night.

The bullet did not penetrate the Soldier's clothes, but the impact drew a small amount of blood.
The uniformed Soldier was waiting to board a bus about 9 p.m. in a parking lot in the 800 block of Cerre Street near Busch Stadium when he felt a "thud" to his shoulder, police said.

The Soldier was treated for a minor graze wound at a St. Louis hospital and released, police said.

Investigators believe the bullet came from "errant gunfire that occurred away from the area."
