Xcel faces challenges with old utility poles
More than two thirds of the utility poles throughout Minnesota are at least a half-century old and records show their failure rate dramatically increases with age, a problem exacerbated by climate change, experts said.
Minneapolis Police said they found an unexpected passenger in the back of a vehicle, which had crashed.
According to the police, officers were called to a single-vehicle accident in which the driver had reportedly left the crash scene. The driver was later located with a suspected leg injury and taken to the hospital.
While investigating the car, Minneapolis Police said they unexpectedly found a frightened puppy curled up on the back seat floorboard.
The puppy was safely cared for and later reunited with its family.
“We are proud of our officers for serving and protecting—two- and four-legged members of our community alike,” the police department said in a statement.
At this time, it is unknown if the driver of the vehicle is facing any criminal charges related to the crash.
A Christmas Day shooting has left a man hospitalized and fighting for his life in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis Police Sgt. Garrett Parten says it happened at around 6:50 a.m. Thursday near the intersection of Cedar Avenue and 17th Avenue South, in the city’s Seward neighborhood.
Officers responded to a report of a shooting and found a man with potentially life-threatening injuries.
Parten says officers provided aid until the man could be taken to a hospital by ambulance.
Investigators believe the suspect was dressed in black clothing and fled the scene before officers arrived.
No arrests had been made as of Thursday night.
The investigation remains active.
Minneapolis police are investigating after they say a man suffered “potentially life-threatening injuries” in a stabbing on Thursday morning.
It happened around 4:45 a.m. near Franklin Avenue East and Chicago Avenue. Officers were called there after reports of a bleeding man boarding a Metro Transit bus.
The man was taken to the hospital after receiving medical help from the officers.
According to police, the stabbing did not happen on the bus.
Investigators are looking into what led to the shooting, and say there’s a “possibility that it occurred during an attempted robbery.”
As of Thursday afternoon, no one has been arrested.
