Faribault police said that when officers arrived at the hotel at 1920 Cardinal Lane, they found a 27-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to his chest after a confrontation with two other men. He was airlifted to a Twin Cities hospital for treatment of his injuries.

One of the other men involved was arrested. Police say he admitted to shooting the victim, saying he did so in self-defense. He was jailed on suspicion of second-degree assault.
