St. Paul police believe a 15-year-old girl wounded in a shooting Tuesday afternoon was an innocent bystander.
Preliminary information indicated two males were shooting at each other in the Payne-Phalen area about 3:30 p.m. when the girl was shot in the leg, said Sgt. Mike Ernster, a police spokesman. Both shooters ran away.
Police found one suspect, a 16-year-old, and arrested him. The other suspect wasn’t located Tuesday.
The girl, who was shot in the 900 block of Payne Avenue, was taken by ambulance to a hospital for treatment for a non-life threatening injury, Ernster said.
