A man and his wife were shot in their St. Paul home this afternoon, in what police say was a botched home invasion robbery. Their five children were home, but not injured.
The couple, who are in their 40s, were each shot once and are believed to have non-life-threatening injuries, said Peter Panos, police spokesman. They were taken to Regions Hospital, have had surgery and are recovering, he said.
The pair recognized the shooter and police are looking for him, Panos said. It wasn't known if there was more than one suspect.
A man knocked on the front door of the Frogtown house and, when it was answered, forced his way in, Panos said.
A frantic woman called 911 at 12:07 p.m. and reported a home in the 400 block of Blair Avenue had been broken into and two people had been shot, Panos said. The caller was in the home at the time of the shooting, Panos said.
Panos said he didn't know if the children, who range in age from 2 to 15, had witnessed their parents' shooting.
With people being beaten walking around the lake and shot down in their own homes, it doesn't appear that the city's crime strategy of going after landlords is working out to well for them!
