A knock on the door of a St. Paul residence on Sunday ended with a 22-year-old man being shot multiple times.

Police said he was hospitalized and was in stable condition, as of Sunday night.

A man told police he heard a knock on the apartment door on Chatsworth Street, near Hague Avenue, on Sunday about 2:45 p.m.

He opened the door a little, saw a man in the stairwell, noticed he had a gun and attempted to shut the door, but the man shot at him before he could close the door, said Steve Linders, a St. Paul police spokesman.

That man was uninjured. He ran to another area of the apartment and heard gunshots, Linders said. However, another man inside the apartment was shot multiple times, police said.

Two women and an infant were in the apartment at the time of the shooting; police said they were also not hurt.

Police are investigating the circumstances of the shooting, which Linders said did not appear to be random.

Officers were called to the address on a report of someone hearing arguing and fighting, and then gunshots, according to a police report. Related Articles Oakdale man sentenced to 30 years for death of West St. Paul father shot as 2-year-old son slept beside him

When officers arrived, two people on the front porch were screaming, saying someone was shot and was in the upstairs apartment, Linders said.

On the way upstairs, officers noticed several spent casings on the stairs. Inside the apartment, they found a man lying on his back and covered in blood, Linders said.

Police are investigating what led to the shooting and have suspect information, Linders said. No one has been arrested.
