1 dead, another injured after St. Paul shooting

St. Paul police are investigating a shooting outside a bar that left one man dead and another injured.

Police spokesman John Keating says officers responded to a report of shots fired around 2 a.m. Wednesday and found two men in their 20s shot outside Born's Bar.

One died at the scene. The other was taken to a local hospital and is expected to survive. Their identities have not been released.

Keating tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press that police later tracked down a vehicle that reportedly left the scene and took four men into custody. Investigators are still trying to determine their possible role.
