One neighbor, who did not want their name used, told KSTP there were "loud bangs" and the family started scrambling for safety.

"It was almost surreal as we heard the shots and then glass breaking," said the neighbor. "We later realized that the house had been hit and bullets had gone through two of our windows and one hit the wall of our bedroom and it was intense and scary."

KSTP checked police records for the house where the shooting reportedly started and found police visited the home 33 times over the past two years and many of those contacts were for domestic assault, aggravated assault and a stabbing in October 2019.

The landlord told KSTP he asked the tenants Tuesday to leave the home within the next seven to 10 days.

St. Paul Police declined to comment on the shooting because it's an open investigation.
