A motorist was severely wounded by gunfire Friday evening in downtown Minneapolis before driving a few blocks and striking another vehicle, officials said.
No arrests had been made as of Saturday. Police have not revealed further details about the shooting, including a possible motive.
The gunfire occurred about 6:30 p.m. near 5th Avenue and S. 9th Street, police said. The driver traveled from that location and struck a family’s vehicle before coming to a stop near 3rd Avenue and S. 9th Street, according to police.
Officers arrived and found a man in his 20s slumped over in the vehicle with at least one potentially life-threatening wound. Emergency responders took him to HCMC. His condition and identity have yet to be released.
The occupants of the vehicle that was struck, including a mother, father and several children, were not injured.
