ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - St. Paul Police are currently investigating a death on the 900 block of Hatch Avenue that left a man dead, and a woman being questioned.
According to police, around 7:30 a.m. a 911 call reported a dead person in a home.
When police arrived, they spoke with the caller, who said they were approached by an adult woman who told them about the dead man. Responding officers found the man, who was pronounced dead on arrival.
According to St. Paul Police Department Sgt. Mike Ernster, an officer who first entered the home came across a "large aggressive dog" that bit him before being shot and killed.
Police have previously been called to the residence 25 times this year, mostly for domestic-related incidents, Ernster said.
