A 20-year-old St. Paul man is dead after a shooting in a nightclub parking lot in Maplewood, police say.
The man was shot after he and several other men attacked one of the nightclub's contract armed security guards, according to a statement from Maplewood police.
A fight broke out between people who had been kicked out of the Stargate club at about 1:30 a.m. Friday. The security guard tried to break up the fight, but the group surrounded the security guard and assaulted him -- the security guard then shot the man, the police statement said.
The man later died at the hospital. The security guard had minor injuries, and is cooperating with police, according to the statement.
There were no other serious injuries.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is handling the case.
