A man was killed and his wife was injured early Friday in a shooting in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul, police said.

Police said the incident occurred on the 1300 block of Davern Street at about 2:15 a.m.

They said a woman called 911 to report a shooting, and when officers arrived they found the woman sitting in the passenger seat of an SUV suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg and her husband dead in the driver's seat.

The woman was transported to Regions Hospital, where she was treated for an injury that does not appear to be life-threatening, police said.

No arrests have been made. Anyone with information is asked to call 651-266-5650.

The Ramsey County medical examiner will perform an autopsy to positively identify the victim and determine an exact cause of death.

It was the 27th homicide in St. Paul this year.
