Just before 5 p.m., police were called to the area of Rice Street and University Avenue W. for a report of shots fired, according to Sgt. Mike Ernster. When police arrived, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound who was not conscious and not breathing.
St. Paul Fire Department paramedics transported the man to Regions Hospital, where he was treated for life-threatening injuries.
According to initial reports, the shooting suspects are believed to have fled the area on foot. As of 7 p.m. Tuesday, there had not been any arrests.
Investigators are still trying to determine the circumstances that led to the shooting and searching for information on who is responsible.
