When officers arrived on scene, the driver reported that three people, two of them armed, had attempted to steal their vehicle. One of the suspects reportedly fired two shots into the vehicle as they fled the scene. Nobody was injured.
The incident was detailed in Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher’s “Live on Patrol” Facebook page in a post called, “Lucky to be alive!”:
“A young man was dropping his college friends off in the 1400 block of Blair last night when three suspects approached him and demanded his vehicle. He refused and drove away only to hear two shots strike his car. One narrowly missed him. You can see the entrance hole on the back window and the exit hole in the center of the windshield. Too close. The three suspects fled west on foot.”
