Two men were shot outside a St. Paul restaurant Monday night and ran to a nearby apartment for help.

Officers called to the 600 block of Fuller Avenue about 8:30 p.m. found the two men lying on the floor of an apartment. A 20-year-old from Minneapolis had a gunshot wound to his lower abdomen. A 25-year-old from Brooklyn Park had been shot in the upper leg, and officers applied a tourniquet until paramedics took over rendering aid, said Steve Linders, a St. Paul police spokesman.

Paramedics took the men to Regions Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Police learned the men were shot outside Hook Fish & Chicken at 600 W. University Ave., near Dale Street. They were standing in front of the restaurant when they heard someone say, “Who is that?” and then they heard gunfire, according to Linders. They said they didn’t know who shot them and did not have a description of the shooter.

The two injured men and a friend with them ran to the Fuller Avenue apartment building, which is where a girlfriend of one of them lives, Linders said. She called 911.
