Man shot, killed in St. Paul's Dayton Bluff neighborhood

St. Paul, Minnesota, police are investigating a deadly shooting that happened Saturday evening in the Dayton's Bluff neighborhood.

The St. Paul Police Department says officers were called to a residence on the 700 block of Sixth Street East at approximately 6:45 p.m. on a report of multiple shots fired.

As officers arrived, police say a man was admitted to Regions Hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest. Despite medical treatment, the man died a short time later. Investigators believe the man had been shot at the scene on Sixth Street East, where officers found multiple shell casings.

Police are working to determine what led up to the shooting.

The shooting left Ariel Brown's home with bullet holes and shattered windows. She was inside at the time, watching a movie with her three small children, including her 2-month-old infant and her mother-in-law.

The family ducked for cover as dozens of shots were fired. Thankfully, they weren't hurt.

"I woke up this morning and I'm still just thanking God that I even have my 2-month-old and my daughter," said Brown.

With no one in custody, Brown said she is left on edge. She's since moved her infant's bed away from the window.

"Just out of that paranoia, like, what if they came back? What if they're not done fighting with somebody next door?" Brown said. "I don't know what it was all about, who, what, why. I'm just thankful that my kids and I are still here."
