Child Killed Two Wounded in Minnesota Shooting, A 33-year-old gunman faced criminal charges in Minnesota on Tuesday
after killing a 10-year-old child and wounding two other people when he
opened fire on motorists in a St. Paul suburb, authorities said.
Police in the town of Oakdale said the assailant, whose name was not immediately released, had fired two bursts of bullets at passing vehicles from a handgun before he was taken into custody on Monday evening. The gunman appears to be a "random single active shooter," Oakdale Police Officer Michelle Stark said on Tuesday. "We feel with his arrest there is no active threat to the public safety at this time."
A handgun and ammunition were recovered near the suspected gunman after he was taken into custody, police said.
The boy and one of the women were found by police in a grocery store parking lot and the second woman was found nearby with a gunshot wound to the hand, according to police. At least two vehicles were hit by gunfire.
