A man was shot and wounded as a community meeting was underway in St. Paul on Monday night, according to police.

During the meeting, two people entered a building — possibly through an unsecured door — and fired shots, said Alyssa Arcand, a St. Paul police spokeswoman, of preliminary information. It wasn’t immediately clear where the shooting happened in relation to the meeting itself or if the victim was attending.

Officers were called just before 6:30 p.m. to the 2500 block of University Avenue in the St. Anthony Park neighborhood. They found evidence of a shooting, but no victims or suspects.

A short time later, a man arrived at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis with a non-fatal gunshot injury to his arm, Arcand said.

Police are investigating the circumstances of the shooting.
