   ST. LOUIS — A 16-year-old was shot and killed early Friday morning while   
   he was breaking into cars, according to the St. Louis Metropolitan   
   Police Department.   
      
   The teenager was with an unknown number of accomplices at around 2 a.m.   
   in the 6300 block of Vermont Avenue when the break-ins were interrupted   
   and shots were fired, the department said. The 16-year-old was shot.   
      
   The shooting's suspects then put the 16-year-old into a vehicle and   
   dropped him off at a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead,   
   investigators said. Police have not released the identity of the   
   teenager.   
      
   The homicide is the first of the year in the city's Carondelet   
   neighborhood, according to St. Louis police data.   
      
   A 5 On Your Side photographer spotted several cars at the scene with   
   smashed windows, indicating they had been broken into.
