One dead, one injured in St. Paul shooting

January 31, 2017 at 3:07AM

A man is dead and another is hospitalized following a shooting late Sunday in St. Paul, police said.

Officers were called to a "shots fired" report near the St. Paul Saloon in the 1000 block of Hudson Road around 11:30 p.m., and when they arrived they found two victims with gunshot wounds.

Both men were taken by ambulance to Regions Hospital. One of the men died at the hospital. The second victim was being treated, said Sgt. Mike Ernster.

Investigators are trying to learn what led up to the shooting.

"We don't believe the shooting was random," Ernster said.

Police have not released the names of the two men. The Ramsey County medical examiner will identify the victim and determine the cause of death.

No one has been arrested.
