Police are investigating an attempted carjacking that led to gunfire Friday night in the North End neighborhood of St. Paul.

Shortly before 8:15 p.m. Friday, a woman arrived at Regions Hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot injury to her hand, according to Nikki Muehlhausen, a St. Paul police spokesperson.

The woman stated that she and her boyfriend went to the 100 block of Atwater Street in St. Paul for a Facebook Marketplace transaction with an unknown man. During their interaction, the man attempted to carjack the couple and began shooting at the vehicle, resulting in the woman being injured.

Officers responded to the 100 block of Atwater to establish a crime scene and look for the suspect and potential witnesses. The suspect has not been located as of Saturday night, and it is an ongoing and active investigation, according to Muehlhausen.

DULUTH — Minnesota Duluth junior goaltender Eve Gascon was back in the Bulldogs’ crease Saturday less than 24 hours after being helped off the ice of Amsoil Arena with an apparent shoulder injury.

One of four goaltenders competing to be on Canada’s 2026 Olympic women’s hockey team, Gascon made 28 saves in her return, but it wasn’t enough for No. 4 UMD in a 3-2 loss to No. 3 Minnesota in Duluth.

Gascon left Friday’s 4-0 loss early in the second period after diving and reaching back for a puck that had gotten by her and across the crease. The Bulldogs’ All-American goaltender had her shoulder looked at before being helped off the ice and into the locker room.

Gascon made 16 saves on 18 shots before being replaced on Friday by freshman Sophia Villanueva, who also made 16 saves on 18 shots in her college debut.

Bulldogs coach Laura Schuler said Saturday that Gascon was pulled from Friday’s game as a precaution, and that evaluations Friday night and Saturday morning proved Gascon was 100% ready to return for Saturday’s game.

“She wanted to play,” Schuler said. “When you have a world-class goalie like that who wants to be in the net, you give them that opportunity. I thought she was outstanding for us today.”

Sophomore center Caitlin Kraemer and sophomore wing Josie St. Martin scored for UMD on Saturday, with Kraemer giving the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead 7:55 into the second period. St. Martin, a transfer from Ohio State, pulled UMD within a goal via an extra attacker power play goal with 3:56 left in the game.

“A great back and forth game,” Schuler said. “I was proud of our girls at the end when we went for it on the 6-on-4. I thought they did a fantastic job of being able to put one away for us, and unfortunately, the time just kind of ran out.”

Fifth-year senior captain Abbey Murphy scored two goals for the Gophers while senior forward Josefin Bouveng got the goal that tied the game at 1-1 just 3:26 after Kraemer gave UMD the 1-0 lead.

Minnesota sophomore goaltender Hannah Clark made 37 saves on 39 shots, including 17 saves in the third period.

The Bulldogs have not beaten the Gophers since knocking them off in the 2022 NCAA regional final at Ridder Arena in Minneapolis en route to the Frozen Four and NCAA championship game. UMD is 0-14-1 since then and has lost seven straight.

A Delta Air Lines flight was forced to stop its takeoff from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport en route to Portland, Ore., on Thursday after a mechanical issue led to smoke and flames coming from an engine.

Takeoff for Delta Flight 1661 was discontinued and the Boeing 737-900 returned to its gate after crew members reported an issue with one of the aircraft’s engines, according to the airline. No injuries were reported.

“Delta Flight 1661 from Minneapolis to Portland returned to the gate following a suspended takeoff due to a mechanical issue,” said a Delta spokesperson in a statement Saturday. “Customers were reaccommodated on another aircraft and landed in Portland approximately two hours late. We apologize to our customers for their delay in travel.”

“ABC World News Tonight with David Muir” aired footage Friday of the takeoff, which showed flames and smoke coming from the aircraft’s right side as it moved down the runway before emergency crews responded.

The flight included 180 passengers and six crew members and maintenance teams will examine the aircraft, according to the Delta spokesperson.

On the heels of a 1-3-1 road trip, Wild coach John Hynes said Friday he wanted to see his team battle with more consistency throughout a full 60-minute game, on draws, on the boards and in the corners — anywhere that players can win possession and put their team on the attack.

It didn’t happen on Saturday. The Wild came out of the gates with little energy and in less than five minutes fell behind the Utah Mammoth 3-0 — and it cost them another two points.

Former Gophers star Logan Cooley scored a pair of goals in the game’s first 3:29, and goaltender Karel Vejmelka stopped 33 shots as the Mammoth made that early lead stick in a 6-2 victory at Grand Casino Arena.

Nick Schmaltz made it 3-0 with a goal at 4:58, giving the Mammoth all the goals they would need to improve to 7-2-0. Cooley had the first assist on J.J Peterka’s game-sealing goal at 13:37 of third period, and Schmaltz added a second goal on a late breakaway.

Gustavsson finished with 35 saves.

Marcus Johansson scored twice for Minnesota, his first two-goal game since Jan. 23, 2024, against Washington and sixth since Dec. 2017. His second, a 3-on-4 power-play goal, pulled the Wild within 3-2 with just more than four minutes to play in the second period.

The Wild drew a quick power play to start the third period — Jack McBain was called for tripping — but despite some juicy chances couldn’t add to their momentum.

Cooley started the scoring when he deflected an arcing back with his backhand, ruining Filip Gustavsson’s plan to glove it. Instead, it caromed off the goaltender’s back for a 1-0 lead at 56 seconds. His second goal, poked up and over Gustavsson at the crease, made it 2-0 at 3:29.

The Wild scored a quick-strike goal late in the first when Johansson one-timed a pass from Zeem Buium to cap a tick-tac-tie rush and make it 3-1 at 15:39, but the Wild never really controlled play until concurrent roughing penalties reduced each team to four skaters with just over six minutes to go in the second period.

Johansson got free at the crease and Ian Cole was called for hooking, giving the Wild a 4-on-3 advantage. Vincent Hinostroza skated the puck into the zone on a breakout and found Johansson in the right circle, whence he scored on a shot that got behind Vejmelka to make it 3-2 at 15:43.

It was Minnesota’s 10th goal with a man advantage this season, same as their even-strength goals, although they failed to scored 6-on-4 in the closing minutes. Instead, John Marino scored an empty-netter to make it 6-2.
