Man critically injured in shooting during carjacking in Minneapolis
A man was critically injured after a carjacking turned violent in Minneapolis early Friday.
Reports of the shooting began just before 2 a.m. Friday, Minneapolis police Sgt. Garrett Parten said. Officers responded to the 200 block of Oak Grove Street, where they found a man with life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Police helped the man until emergency workers arrived and rushed him to Hennepin Healthcare in downtown Minneapolis.
“Preliminary information indicates that the male was inside a vehicle when an individual removed him from the vehicle and took it,” Parten said in a news release. “While the vehicle was being taken, shots were fired and he was struck.”
St. Paul officers found the victim’s vehicle and arrested a man who was inside. A Minneapolis police investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
