ST. PAUL, Minn. — St. Paul police are investigating a deadly shooting that happened in the city's Highland Park neighborhood Tuesday night.

A homicide unit responded to the scene of a reported shooting just after 9 p.m., according to the St. Paul Police Department. The victim was pronounced dead on the scene.

No arrests have yet been made, officials said.

The shooting is the city's ninth in three days and the city's 28th homicide this year.

"There's been a lot of gunfire in the city the past three days," department spokesman Steve Linders said. "So something we're addressing, we're working with our partners, and we're asking anyone who knows who is carrying the guns and who is pulling the trigger to call us and let us know. Because it could save a life."
