MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The Oakdale Police Department says a shooting at the Hilton Garden Inn sent two people to Regions Hospital with non-life threatening injuries on Saturday morning. Two other people are now in police custody.

Police say the altercation at the hotel on Inwood Avenue North began with a group of seven people. Alcohol is believed to be a factor.

Officers say a man contacted police to report that had been shot at 6:18 a.m. On scene police discovered a man with a gunshot wound to his left forearm in the front driveway; another man nearby had a gunshot wound to his chest; and a third person had an abrasion on their arm.
