A man was shot and wounded inside a St. Paul bar over the weekend and returned fire, police said.
The shooter entered the St. Paul Saloon on Hudson Road near Earl Street about 11:45 p.m. Saturday and shot the man in the leg.
The wounded man chased the suspect outside and, with his own firearm, fired several shots toward him, said Sgt. Toy Vixayvong, a police spokesman. Police had not found the suspect as of Monday morning and it wasn’t known if he’d been struck by gunfire.
Officers used tourniquets on the wounded man and St. Paul Fire Department medics took him to the hospital with a non-life threatening wound.
A man who answered the phone at the St. Paul Saloon on Monday referred questions to the owner, who he said is out of town.
There have been fatal shootings outside the bar in the past, including the killings of Raymond Renteria-Hobbs, 20, in 2021, Wayne Rodrick Brown, 29, in 2019, and George Bensouda, 33, in 2017.
