The Dade County Sheriff Office and the Missouri State Highway Patrol are investigating a shooting at a business near the Lockwood, Missouri High School around 7:30am this morning.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the Sheriff's office requested the Patrol's Division of Drug and Crime Control help with the investigation.
The shooting was at Prairie Mountain Screening on W. 4th Street. Sgt. John Lueckenhoff with the Missouri State Highway Patrol says at least two people were transported to hospitals with injuries.
Their names and extent of injuries were not being released at the time. Sgt. Lueckenhoff also confirmed one person was taken into custody.
Sgt. Luekenhoff says the incident began when the suspect, believed to be in his early 20's, opened fire on a car that was going west on Highway 160 at Dade County Road 81. The car was hit, but the driver was not.
The shooter followed the driver to Prairie Mountain Screening, and shot his way inside. One man and one woman were shot but the driver of the vehicle was not one of the shooting victims.
Both shooting victims were believed to be in serious, but stable condition at this time.
The shooting suspect then fled the business and was arrested a few minutes later at his home in Lockwood. He did not put up any resistance and was taken into custody without incident.
"It was not random. There was some intent here. What that exact intent was, we don't know at this point." said Sgt. Lueckenhoff.
The shooting investigation is ongoing and we will have a update from the Missouri State Highway patrol when it's made available to us.

A Nevada resident has been charged with burglary and theft after deputies received a call regarding a storage unit with missing items. According to Sheriff’s Office officials, deputies were dispatched on 7/29/2016 to a storage unit that had been burglarized on West Hickory Street just outside the city limits of Nevada.
Video captured at the scene and turned over to deputies provided a description of the suspected vehicle used in the crime. Deputies were able to identify the vehicle and set up surveillance over the weekend at a location they believed the vehicle would be. Once the vehicle was found, a traffic stop was made and stolen items from the storage unit were recovered.
The suspect has been identified as 50-year-old Julie A Nelson of Nevada. Vernon County Sheriff Jason Mosher said the deputies did an excellent job at identifying the suspect and recovering stolen property. “They acted on the information quickly and apprehended the suspect within a few days of taking the report.”
Warrants were issued over the weekend for Nelson charging her with 2nd Degree Burglary, and felony Theft. Nelson is currently being held in the Vernon County Jail on a $10,000 cash only bond.
