A man attending a wedding event in a Maplewood park was shot and injured, allegedly by the best man, according to the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office.

The 36-year-old from St. Paul sustained a gunshot wound to each leg and was taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries, said Steve Linders, a sheriff’s office spokesman.

There were about 100 people at the wedding event at Keller Regional Park. An argument between the victim and the suspect — not during the wedding ceremony — preceded the shooting on Saturday about 7:10 p.m., Linders said.

The suspect left in a vehicle before Maplewood officers or deputies arrived. Sheriff’s office investigators were working to locate him as of Monday afternoon.
