ST PAUL, Minn. — One person is in custody following a hostage situation at a Speedway gas station Tuesday afternoon in the Parkway - Greenbrier neighborhood in St. Paul.
According to a spokesperson with the St. Paul Police Department, at around 3 p.m. officers received a call that a woman with a gun was threatening people inside a gas station in the area of East 7th Street and Johnson Parkway.
