Three people broke into a St. Paul home Thursday morning, shot and wounded a man and tied up a woman, according to police.

The man’s injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, said Steve Linders, a St. Paul police spokesman.

It’s possible the man was targeted because he recently had a “successful trip to Las Vegas and posted about his winnings on social media,” Linders said.

There were two young children in the Payne-Phalen residence during the home-invasion robbery. They were unharmed and it was unclear whether they saw what happened, Linders said.

A woman called 911 about 8:15 a.m. Thursday, reporting someone broke into her home and shot her boyfriend in the 1100 block of Bradley Street.

Officers found the man was shot three times in the leg and buttocks. Paramedics took him to the hospital.

No one was immediately arrested.

The case doesn’t appear to be random, Linders said.

“We don’t know the motive until we find the suspects,” but Linders said “it’s possible that they were aware” of the man’s recent winnings.

Two vehicles were stolen. It wasn’t immediately clear whether anything was taken from the home, Linders said.
