Police in St. Paul say one man is dead and three others are hurt after a shooting outside a funeral home in the city’s West Side neighborhood Monday.

Police say “multiple shooters” opened fire at about 11:20 a.m. on the 400 block of Humboldt Avenue. A 28-year-old man was struck in the throat; a man in his 30s was hit in the neck; a man in his 20s was grazed in the face; and a man in his 20s is in critical condition with injuries to his abdomen, back and legs. All four were brought to Regions Hospital, where the 28-year-old later died. Regions was on lockdown for a short time Monday “out of abundance of caution,” hospital officials said.

Public Information Officer Steve Linders described the shooting — which was during funeral services for Casanova Carter, who was fatally shot in the neighborhood on Feb. 1 — as “a tragedy on top of a tragedy.”
