2 shootings remain a concern as Minnesota State Fair tears down

Crews were working to tear down the Minnesota State Fair on Tuesday, but two shootings in or around the fairgrounds during this year's festival remain top of mind.

(FOX 9) - A shooting Monday night just blocks outside the Minnesota State Fair left shell casings in the street and an 18-year-old victim in the hospital.

Around 8:30 p.m. multiple officers from the St. Paul Police Department responded to reports of a shooting near 1500 Como Ave.

An 18-year-old victim has since been transported to Regions Hospital, and is expected to survive.
