Inside a residence, officers identified an 18-year-old female with at least one potentially life- threatening gunshot wound and a 13-year-old male with at least one apparent non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Both injured parties may have been injured by the same bullet. Both injured parties were transported to North Memorial Medical Hospital in separate ambulances.

A gun was recovered.

There were three other juveniles in the home at the time of the shooting. They were not injured. The ages and nature of the relationship between the three uninured juveniles and the other occupants is not being disclosed at this time.
