Detectives are investigating the shooting death of a 14-year-old boy Monday night at an apartment complex in Burnsville.
A police spokesperson gave the following details.
About 10:30 p.m., police were called to a shooting at an apartment complex in the 13000 block of Harriet Avenue South in Burnsville. When they arrived, officers and paramedics found a 14-year-old in the lobby who had been shot. They performed life saving measures and the boy was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center where he later died from his injuries, said Steph Kass, communications director for the city.
The investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Based on preliminary information, the shooting does not appear to be random, Kass said, and there is nothing that suggests any threat to the public.
The shooting marks the city’s second homicide of the year.
The first homicide involved the Jan. 25 shooting death of 19-year-old Mohamed Hassan Salad in the parking lot near Andrew’s Pointe Townhomes off Minnesota 13 and East 117th Street.
