3 men dead, another in critical condition in Roseville

Police said they were conducting a welfare check early on Saturday morning when they found the four victims.

ROSEVILLE, Minn. — The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating after Roseville Police found three men dead and another critically injured Saturday morning.

In a press release, police said they were sent to the 1600 block of Eldridge Avenue just before 2:30 a.m. on a welfare check. 

When they arrived, officers said they found a man with a laceration to his throat. 

Joe Adams, Deputy Chief of the Roseville Police Department, says someone got a phone call from one of the men inside. 

"That individual promptly called the police department," said Adams. 

While emergency responders helped the man, police said they found three more men dead from apparent knife and gunshot wounds. 

Adams said the four did know one another. 

The injured man was rushed to the hospital where officials said he was in critical condition, but Adams said he is expected to live. 

Cha Vang and other family members arrived in the morning. He said he believed his brother died, but was still waiting on identification. He says he was 32.

"Still very young," said Vang. 

Police said the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is still investigating, and couldn't say more about the circumstances of what happened or who was responsible. 

They did say that they believed everyone involved was inside the apartment when police arrived. 

"I cannot have words now," said Vang. "I just cannot believe it."

Officials said they don't believe the public is in danger.
