1 Person Was Killed And 14 Others Were Injured In A Shooting At A Saint Paul Bar

SAINT PAUL, MN — Three men have been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting at a Saint Paul bar that left a woman in her 20s dead and 14 others injured, according to Todd Axtell, the Saint Paul Chief of Police.

In a news release, Saint Paul police said multiple people called 911 and "frantically begged for help" after the shooting. Police said they found a chaotic scene in the 200 block of West Seventh Street around 12:15 a.m.

Police did not say where the shooting happened but the Seventh Street Truck Park is located at that address.

In a statement, Saint Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said the community is devastated by the shocking scenes from last night.

“As our Saint Paul officers work to bring those responsible for these senseless acts into custody, our work to build more proactive and comprehensive public safety strategies is more urgent than ever,” Carter’s statement continued. “We will never accept violence in our community.”

At least 15 people were shot and officers worked with good Samaritans to give first aid to the victims and to make sure it was safe for fire medics to enter.

One of the victims, a woman in her 20s, was pronounced dead. The other victims are expected to survive.

"My heart breaks for the woman who was killed, her loved ones and everyone else who was in that bar this morning," Axtell said in a statement. "In an instant, they found themselves caught in a hellish situation. I want them to know that we have the best investigators in the country, and we won’t stop until we find the people responsible for this madness. We will do our part to hold them accountable."

Police are working to piece together what led to the shooting and anyone with information is asked to call 651-266-5650.

Police said there were likely several shooters. The three men arrested are currently in the hospital being treated for injuries. Once they are discharged, police said they will booked into the Ramsey City jail, where they will await a charging decision.
