The St. Paul Police Department said three people were injured Friday night and early Saturday morning in two separate shooting incidents.

Police said all three victims arrived at Regions Hospital between the hours of 11:30 p.m. Friday and just after midnight on Saturday.

The first victim was believed to have been injured at the 800 block of Euclid Street around 11:30 p.m. There was a man who had been shot and sustained non-life-threatening injuries. He was taken to Regions for treatment.

“If us as people cannot come together to simply celebrate a holiday, then what is our future looking like?” proclaimed neighbor George Hinkle.

Then, just after midnight, officers were called to Regions, where two men had arrived with gunshot wounds. It was determined by police that the two had been injured at Central Avenue and Avon Street, and are expected to be OK.

After speaking with witnesses, police said a group of people were having a party when the shooting began. In total, police said they recovered over 30 spent casings at Central Avenue and Avon Street.

“So all at once I heard the gunshots and stuff, boom, boom, boom, I see everybody shut up, start running and stuff,” said Dennis Hudson, who lives on the corner of Central Avenue and Avon Street. “It was probably three to 400 people here last night.”

Hudson says it was a standard community block party with fireworks for the Fourth of July, until he heard about 10-15 shots. “It seemed like they were shooting at each other,” he added.

Due to the number of people arriving from the shooting incident, Regions Hospital was placed on a temporary lockdown, which has since been lifted.

At this time, the two shootings do not appear to have been connected to one another, according to police. No arrests have been made in connection with either investigation.
