MINNEAPOLIS — A man is in the hospital Saturday after being shot in a parked car in Minneapolis on Friday, police said.
In a press release, Minneapolis police said officers responded to a shooting in the 3700 block of Chicago Avenue around 5 p.m. Friday.
When officers from the Third Precinct responded to the area, they found a 31-year-old man with a life-threatening gunshot wound. Officers worked to save the man and when emergency crews arrived, they took him to Hennepin County Medical Center.
Officials said it appears the man was shot in a parked vehicle a few blocks from where police found him, in the 4100 block of Chicago Avenue. The woman driving the car drove four blocks before pulling over, police said. Officers think the shooting happened after an altercation.
“What’s especially disturbing is that it appears the victim’s children—who are toddler-age—were inside the car at the time. Thankfully, the children were not injured,” said Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara in a statement.
Police have not released the ages of the children.
No arrests have been made.
