St. Paul sees rolling gun battle, man with machete chase bystanders over weekend
Bullets flew between moving cars in a dramatic gunfight on wheels and a machete wielding man chased down his victims over the weekend in St. Paul.
Over the weekend, an Uber driver captured a dramatic video as he drove through a St. Paul gunfight and a man with a machete chased down bystanders shortly after he was released on zero bail.
“Woah, that was gunfire,” an Uber driver declared after narrowly avoiding a head-on collision with a vehicle that swerved into his lane as roughly 20 shots rang out early Saturday morning. Unbeknownst to the Uber driver, he had just recorded “a gang shootout between 2-4 vehicles,” according to Pat Scott of Live on Patrol — a Facebook livestream show hosted by Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher.
“At least two participants showed up at Regions [Hospital] with gunshot wounds,” Scott revealed, per Crime Watch Minneapolis. “All [participants] were hostile and uncooperative and at least two of them promised more shootings to come,” Scott warned.
It seems the Uber driver passed between two of the suspect vehicles. “The Uber driver was northbound on White Bear near the Hayden Heights library while the southbound vehicles fired at each other around him,” Live on Patrol reports.
