Multiple people were injured, and one person was pronounced dead after a shooting at a bar in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday.

KSTP-TV reported the shooting occurred at Seventh Street Truck Bar early in the morning. According to a news release, police said they received calls from people "frantically" begging for help during the incident.

When police arrived at the scene at around 12:15 a.m., officers discovered 15 people with gunshot wounds and "worked with good Samaritans to render aid," the news release said. Fourteen people were sent to nearby hospitals, and a woman described to be in her 20s died.

"I can only describe it as hellish," St. Paul Police spokesperson Steve Linders told WCCO-TV. "I think about the young woman who died. One minute she's having a good time, the next minute she's lying in her friends' arms who are trying to save her life, and she didn't make it. I can't think of anything worse."

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said the"community is "devastated" by the shooting.
