According to Maplewood Police Chief Paul Schnell, the 30 to 60 gunshots were fired by multiple shooters
around 1:30 a.m. He said that currently, the injuries are not considered life-threatening.
"An officer says he could hear one of the bullets pass by his ear. It's amazing not more people have been
shot in this situation," he said.
Officers were already in the area responding to a previous disturbance nearby when they saw dozens
running out of the club.
Schnell said police believe all the shots were fired outside of the club. He said that several vehicles in the
parking lot that were struck and that many shots were also fired from cars leaving the scene.
According to Schnell, the Mayor and city council were planning to discuss Stargate's future in a meeting
on Feb. 27, but he expects the meeting to happen much sooner now.
Officers are also investigating two other nearby incidents that are likely connected to the shooting, Schnell
said. One of them involves a car accident that may have happened as cars were leaving the parking lot.
Both the St. Paul Police Department and Roseville Police Department assisted with the investigation.
