No victims were injured inside the house by the gunfire, police said.
According to police, officers then evacuated the apartment and did not find the suspect or any other victims, but shortly thereafter, officers found the suspect, later identified as Amos Johnson, on the 900 block of Lawson Avenue East, who was from a gunshot wound.
St. Paul Fire paramedics treated him and took him to Regions Hospital for injuries that were not considered life threatening. Police said it was unknown whether the suspect’s injuries were self-inflicted.
