Man shoots would-be robber in foot in St. Paul

A gunfight erupted in St. Paul Monday night when two men tried to rob another and he fought back, pulling out his own pistol and eventually shooting one would-be robber in the foot.

The two men, armed with handguns, attempted to rob the other near Como and Pennsylvania avenues about 5:30 p.m., according to St. Paul Commander Steve Frazer. The victim, who has a permit to carry, exchanged fire with his would-be robbers before they fled in a car. The man who refused to be a victim jumped in his own car and gave chase. The three men then exchanged another round of gunfire in the 900 block of Thomas Avenue, Frazer said.
