The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating after a man who was suspected of breaking into a home and threatening someone with a gun was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.
St. Paul police responded about 4 a.m. Sunday, going to the 900 block of Fremont Avenue after a 911 caller said their door had been kicked in by a man they knew who threatened them with a gun, according to a department news release.
The caller said multiple shots were fired. The man had fled by the time officers arrived, police said. Officers located a vehicle matching the description, and police followed when it drove off.
The vehicle went west on Interstate 94 before eventually exiting in Minneapolis, where the officers stopped it, the release said.
After approaching the vehicle, the officers found a man suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Officers performed CPR, and the man was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
St. Paul police requested the BCA handle the investigation.
The department and BCA declined to provide additional information about how the shooting took place and who was responsible. A BCA spokesperson said more information would be shared in a few days once agents complete a preliminary investigation.
