11-year-old boy fatally shot at Minneapolis park

An 11-year-old boy was shot and killed at a north Minneapolis park Monday afternoon.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said officers were called to the shooting at Folwell Park around 2:08 p.m. and a police lieutenant was flagged down by a good Samaritan who lives nearby and had put the injured child inside their vehicle.

The officer immediately began CPR, but the boy died at the scene.

“Preliminary information indicates gunfire erupted within the park,” a Monday night press released from MPD said. “Witnesses reported seeing a vehicle driving through the park and two other vehicles moving through the adjacent parking lot at the time of the shooting.”
