‘JUST PLAIN HEARTBREAKING’

Two People Killed in ‘Chaotic’ Shooting at Minnesota Senior Home

“We are tired of having this press conference. We’re tired of having to figure out how to wrap words around violence,” St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said following the incident.

Two people are dead and three more are injured after a shooting erupted at a senior home in St. Paul, Minnesota, Saturday night following a “celebration of life” event, police said. Gunfire rang out just after 5 p.m. in the parking lot of Kings Crossing by Episcopal Homes, creating what authorities called a “chaotic scene.” One man was pronounced dead at the scene, while four others were rushed to a nearby hospital. Another man succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival. Of the other three victims, one man remains in critical condition, a woman is in stable condition and another is being treated for non-life threatening injuries, police said Sunday. St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter weighed in on the shooting Sunday, calling it “just plain heartbreaking.” He added: “We are tired of having this press conference. We’re tired of having to figure out how to wrap words around violence.”
