North St. Paul police are asking community members for help as they investigate a shooting left four people injured late Saturday.

According to police, officers were called to the 2100 block of 17th Avenue around 10:45 p.m. for a report of an assault that involved shots being fired.

When they arrived, officers found a group of an estimated 60 people – had gathered at Casey Lake Park earlier in the evening, and while people arrived, shots were fired.

Neighbors told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS they believed a high school graduation party was happening; however, police later said while a graduation celebration was happening in the pavilion next to where the gathering and shooting took place, they are separate events and are not related to each other.

The four people who were hit were hospitalized to receive treatment. Their names haven’t been released as of this time.

However, North St. Paul Police Chief Ray Rozales tells 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS all four people appear to have non-life-threatening injuries.

Chief Rozales says a 17-year-old boy was shot in the ankle, and a 21-year-old man had a bullet graze his ear and shoulder. Meanwhile, two 24-year-old women were injured – one was shot in the hip, and another – who Rozales says has already been discharged -may have been shot in her left hand.

Police are still gathering evidence and speaking to witnesses as they look for the person – or persons – responsible. Rozales says they believe there were at least three shooters, and it is unclear what their relationship is to those who were gathered in the park.

Rozales adds there is surveillance video which shows people gathering and dancing before everyone scatters, and officers are still working to determine where the shots started.

As of this time, police don’t believe there is a threat to the public. Anyone with information which may help police is asked to call investigators at 651-747-2444.
