West St. Paul police are asking residents and business owners to be on the lookout for two guns they believe were used to shoot at a house about 7:10 p.m. Monday.
Two suspects fled the scene in the 1100 block of Charlton Street in a pickup, according to police, but struck a tree and then abandoned the pickup when it caught fire in front of the Doddway Shopping Center.
One of the suspects, a 24-year-old Oakdale man, was apprehended, but police believe they tossed two handguns after fleeing the pickup.
“We are asking residents and business owners from Butler Avenue West to Bernard Avenue West and Smith Avenue South to Ohio Street to check their yards for these firearms,” Lt. Brian Sturgeon said in a news release.
Anyone who spots a gun should not handle it but call 911 immediately.
No injuries were reported from the incident.
