MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis police are investigating a shooting on the southside where a teenager suffered a non-life threatening injury.

According to police, the incident began with a disturbance caused by a group of eight to 10 juveniles shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday at 2910 Pillsbury Ave. S., which is Karmell Mall. Shots were fired during the incident, police said.

Before officers arrived at the scene, all of the juveniles involved left the area.

Police later learned that a 17-year-old arrived at Abbott Northwestern Hospital with non-life threatening injury to his leg. Police say the injury is likely linked to the shooting on Pillsbury Avenue.
