Three men were wounded in a shooting early Friday in St. Paul’s Highland Park inside a rental property owned by the nearby St. Paul Academy.

It happened about 5 a.m. after a group of males were asked to leave a party at a home on Juno Avenue near Fairview Avenue, said Steve Linders, a St. Paul police spokesman. SPA’s Randolph Avenue campus is just down the street.

“A dispute ensued, threats were made and shots were fired,” Linders said.

Three young men in the residence sustained injuries believed to be non-life-threatening, according to police. They were not the people who had been asked to leave, Linders said.

Paramedics took one man to Regions Hospital and the others were driven to the hospital in private vehicles.

No one had been arrested as of Friday afternoon. The police department was interviewing possible witnesses “to determine what led up to the shooting and who is responsible,” Linders said.

Police asked anyone with information to call them at 651-266-5650.

Bryn Roberts, SPA head of school, wrote to families on Friday that police told them “this was an isolated incident and that the community is not in danger.”

None of the home’s residents are SPA faculty or students, and no faculty or students were on campus at the time of the incident, according to the school’s communications director.

“As this home is one of SPA’s rental properties, we are working closely with our attorneys, in addition to the police, on an appropriate course of action,” Roberts wrote. “As a precaution, we will have additional security on campus (Friday night), and we have requested that Saint Paul Police increase their presence in the neighborhood.”
