Un shooting in a bustling bar in St. Paul, Minnesota, early Sunday morning left a woman dead and 14 people injured, authorities said.
The shooting was unleashed little after midnight at the Seventh Street Truck Park bar. The police pointed out that, according to preliminary information, several people opened fire.
Police arrested three men who were being treated at a hospital for injuries in the shooting. All three will be booked into the Ramsey County Jail upon discharge, the St. Paul Police Department stated in a statement posted in Twitter. No charges have yet been filed.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the causes of the shooting. “We have a bar with a lot of activity, many people having a good time, and then a few individuals decided to draw guns and pull the trigger indiscriminately, not caring about human life, “said Steve Linders, a police spokesman. “And I think of the poor woman who just had fun. She danced and smiled and laughed, and the next minute she was dying in the arms of her friends. It’s a tragedy”.
The woman in her twenties who was murdered is the 32nd homicide victim in the city so far this year, report the newspaper Star Tribune. The other people who received bullet holes are expected to survive, police said in a statement.
“My heart breaks for the woman who was murdered, her loved ones and everyone who was in that bar this morning,” St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell said in the statement. “In an instant they found themselves in the middle of a hellish situation. I want them to know that we have the best investigators in the country and that we will not stop until we find those responsible for this madness. “
The Seventh Street Truck bar is located in the entertainment district, a short drive south of the Xcel Energy Center, where the Minnesota Wild of the NHL plays. Linders said he has no recollection of recent reports of police coming to the bar.
“It’s not on our radar as a place where you can expect this kind of thing,” Linders stated. “We don’t see this kind of thing anywhere.”
