St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell said it has been difficult for his department to keep up with all the 911 calls and that he would like to put more officers on the streets.

Some business owners in the city near the sites of recent shootings said they would also like to see a change.

"This is not good for any of our businesses on the avenue; we've done everything we can to be proactive to help the neighborhood to do everything we possibly can to be positive and once again here we are," Tin Cup owner Gidget Bailey said.

Addressing recent incidents is going to be part of the conversation as budget talks move forward in St. Paul. Mayor Melvin Carter recently suggested cutting five officers from the police department, which Axtell said he is firmly against.
