August 24, 2024 (MINNEAPOLIS) Police Chief Brian O’Hara said today that a 15-year-old girl was fatally shot inside a residence this afternoon.
At 1:50 p.m., officers from the 4th Precinct responded to a shooting inside a residence on the 3400 block of Logan Av N. Officers found a 15-year-old girl inside the residence with at least one life-threatening gunshot wound. Officers immediately provided medical aid until the girl was transported to North Memorial Health. Despite all lifesaving efforts, the 15-year-old girl died at the hospital.
Two adults and two teenagers were in the home when officers arrived.
Investigators are working to determine the circumstances that led up to the shooting.
“I am deeply concerned by the shooting death of a 15-year-old girl,” said Chief O’Hara. “Whether this is a terrible accident highlighting the need for the proper care and storage of guns, or this is somehow connected to the growing violence among teenagers, the loss of a 15-year-old girl is an unacceptable tragedy. Our investigators are working diligently to determine exactly what happened. Together with our law enforcement and community partners, we will continue to do all we can to completely interrupt the number of lives that are forever impacted by guns.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner will release the deceased teenager’s name along with the cause and manner of death.
