A daylight shooting during rush-hour Wednesday injured a 30-year-old man and further angered people in a St. Paul neighborhood fed up with gun violence.

The man injured in the North End Wednesday was the seventh person shot in the city since Friday night, one of whom died. The number is “absolutely” more than police typically see in a six-day timeframe, said Deputy Police Chief Mary Nash.

On Thursday, Metro Transit police were investigating a report that someone fired a gunshot on a Green Line train at the Hamline Avenue station about 4 p.m. Police did not find anyone who was injured, said Howie Padilla, Metro Transit spokesman.

The shooting that wounded the man Wednesday happened about 5:30 p.m.

Gidget Bailey was bartending at Tin Cup’s, the restaurant and bar she owns at Rice Street and Maryland Avenue, when an employee and customer ran in and asked her to call 911 immediately. The worker told Bailey he heard 11 to 15 gunshots.

A man in a sport-utility vehicle was shot in the leg and foot. He reported that, when the SUV was stopped, he saw a male run up and start shooting, said Sgt. Mike Ernster, a St. Paul police spokesman. As people ran from the SUV, it rolled back and came to rest at a curb.

Paramedics took the 30-year-old to Regions Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Ernster said.

“This is not a random incident,” he said. “Investigators are trying to determine what the conflict was that would have led to this.”

Bailey said she was beside herself over the shooting.

“I’m not stopping the fight until this neighborhood gets the safety it deserves, just like any other neighborhood in St. Paul,” she said.

INVESTIGATORS WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK

As of Thursday afternoon, police had not made arrests in the shootings — including an incident that injured three young men outside the Minnesota State Fair Monday night — or the homicide of Tom Harrigan, an off-duty St. Paul firefighter shot in his East Side home on Monday night.

“Investigators have been working 24-7 to figure out who did this and to make those arrests,” Nash said. It’s unknown if any of the recent shootings are related; investigators are working to determine that, according to Nash.

The man shot Wednesday was the 106th person injured or killed by gunfire in St. Paul this year; there were 90 at the end of August last year.

A serious shooting can “paralyze a patrol district for the shift” because so many officers have to respond, Nash said, which means officers who patrol elsewhere in St. Paul have to come into the area to handle other calls.
