A security guard at an Aldi grocery store in south Minneapolis tried to use mace Friday night while confronting a man, who then shot him, authorities said.

The guard was treated at HCMC for noncritical injuries, Minneapolis police Sgt. Garrett Parten said. No arrests had been announced as of Saturday morning.

The shooting happened just past 8 p.m. inside the Aldi store at 1311 E. Franklin Av. in the Ventura Village neighborhood. It’s unclear how the confrontation began, Parten said, but the guard attempted to use mace before the suspect fired “several” shots and fled on foot.
