ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter released a statement in response to the overnight shooting that injured 14 people and killed one woman downtown.
At about 12:15 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to a shooting on the 200 block of 7th Street West. There, they found what St. Paul police spokesperson Steve Linders called a "hellish" scene, with people lying on the ground outside and inside the Truck Park bar.
