Los Angeles Police Arrest St. Louis Robbery Suspect

A suspect in a St. Louis credit union robbery was arrested in Hollywood on Saturday, less than 24 hours after another suspect in the case allegedly gunned down one FBI agent and wounded two others before being fatally shot himself, authorities said.

Ronald Craig Horr, 26, was arrested by a contingent of FBI agents and Los Angeles police officers in connection with the Jan. 3 robbery in St. Louis, said Jim Neilson, an FBI spokesman in Los Angeles.

Neilson said Horr was armed with a .32-caliber handgun but offered no resistance when he was apprehended at 8:30 a.m. at an undisclosed location in Hollywood.

The FBI declined to give additional details about the arrest or Horr’s possible link to the Friday night shoot-out. All Neilson would say is that Horr would appear before a federal magistrate in Los Angeles on Monday morning.

A second suspect, James Price, opened fire on three FBI agents who went to a house in suburban St. Louis to serve a search warrant in connection with the robbery of the South Community Credit Union.

“They went to the door of the house, knocked on it and identified themselves as FBI agents, and their intentions,” said Dick Herman, a special agent in the FBI’s St. Louis office. “They kicked in the door, and the suspect involved opened fire.”

The agents were looking for money and weapons after receiving information from a third suspect, Donald Schulz, 19, of St. Louis, who had been arrested on Tuesday.

In the ensuing shoot-out, FBI Agent L. Douglas Abram, 47, was killed and two other agents, Carl Schultz, 44, and Terry McGinnis, 39, were wounded. The agents belonged to the FBI’s SWAT team, police said.

Price, 45, shot Abram as the lawmen stormed into the house around 7 p.m. Price was killed in an exchange of gunshots with the agents, investigators said.

Abram “was an outstanding, dedicated professional who gave his life in the performance of his duty,” said David Binney, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s St. Louis office.
