Police in St. Paul, Minnesota, say two people are dead after a shooting overnight Friday in the city's north side.

Officers were called to the 400 block of Front Avenue in the South of Maryland neighborhood around 4:20 a.m. to find a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Despite officers' efforts to save his life, the man died at the scene.

Police say a second gunshot wound victim arrived at a St. Paul fire station and was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

Investigators are looking to identify the motive of the shooting, though Public Information Officer Nikki Muelhausen said it appeared to be "domestic in nature."

She added that the two men were the ones who fired their guns at each other. Police recovered a handgun at the scene.

It's not clear their exact relationship, Muelhausen said.

"Something that Chief Henry and his entire department would reiterate is that gun violence is never going to be the solution to any problems, and we really hope that we can continue to work with our community partners to make sure there are ways to make sure that we continue to solve issues without it leading to tragic endings like this," said Muelhausen.

Friday's shootings mark the 10th and 11th homicides in St. Paul for 2025. At this time last year, the city had seen 23.
