ST. PAUL, Minn. — Three people are dead and two others are injured after a shooting late Sunday afternoon in St. Paul’s Payne-Phalen neighborhood.

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, Interim Police Chief Jeremy Ellison and other officials spoke on the deaths at a press conference Monday afternoon. 

“We’re tired of these press conferences. We’re tired of these late night calls,” Carter said. “What happened last night is unacceptable.”
