Thirty-two-year-old Carl Salters Jr. is accused of firing the shots at two men he had an argument with inside the Red Carpet bar.
A St. Cloud Police officer was patrolling downtown St. Cloud around 1:30 a.m. on March 1st when he heard gunshots near the Centre Square parking ramp.
Responding officers found six spent shell casings from a 9-millimeter gun and a bullet hole in a nearby car which was unoccupied. Through surveillance video and interviews with witnesses, police believed Salters was the triggerman.
It does not appear anyone was hurt.
