A man was injured in a shooting on U.S. 61 in St. Paul on Thursday afternoon, and the Minnesota State Patrol is investigating.

Initial reports suggest shots were fired from one vehicle into another, with one passenger sustaining injuries that were not life-threatening, according to Lt. Tiffani Nielson, State Patrol spokeswoman.

“The State Patrol does not believe this was a random act of violence or road rage and there is no threat to the public,” Nielson said.

The shooting occurred in the area of U.S. 61 South and Lower Afton Road just after noon. Paramedics took the injured man to Regions Hospital.

A description of the suspect vehicle was not available, Nielson said. Anyone with information is asked to contact the State Patrol at 651-582-1509.
