Gunfire broke out near Saint Paul RiverCentre in downtown Saint Paul on Monday evening, leaving two people injured and prompting a large police response. According to initial reports, the shooting occurred around 5:40 PM near W. Kellogg Boulevard and 7th Street West. Officers recovered multiple spent shell casings and found blood at the intersection, with investigators linking the scene to an earlier incident believed to have occurred near Rice Park.
Authorities said two victims were transported to the hospital by private vehicles. One person suffered a gunshot wound to the face, while another was injured in the leg, based on early radio dispatch information.
