Woman Hospitalized After Shooting In Brooklyn Park
BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. (WCCO) – One person was injured and sent to the hospital Friday afternoon after a shooting at an apartment complex in Brooklyn Park, according to police.
The incident happened at about 3:42 p.m. on the 5800 block of 73rd Avenue. Police responded to a report of several shots heard in the second floor hallway of an apartment complex in the area.
When they arrived, officers found an adult female in the second floor hallway who had sustained a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the back. She was transported to North Memorial Hospital.
