Overview
- Police responded to a domestic-assault call on the 400 block of Temperance Street, which came in Monday and led officers to find the suspect on the 200 block of East 12th Street just outside Regions Hospital shortly before 9:30 a.m.
- An encounter between officers and the suspect escalated to gunfire, police say, and the person who was shot was brought into Regions Hospital for treatment while no officers were injured.
- St. Paul Police requested the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to conduct an independent investigation of the use of force, following standard practice for officer-involved shootings in the state.
- Authorities have released only basic facts so far and have not identified the wounded person or described what specifically prompted officers to fire, making this an active and developing investigation.
- The BCA’s findings and any body-camera or surveillance footage it reviews are likely to clarify who fired and why and could shape potential criminal or policy outcomes and local public response.
