Investigators are waiting on autopsy results from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner to determine the nature of the shooting.
“I don’t know specifics on the extent of injuries to the victim, but we do know that we responded to a report of a shooting, and we can confirm that there was more than one shot fired,” Fadden said. “We’re still trying to figure out exactly how many.”
Plymouth police are asking anyone with any information to call the city’s tip line at (763) 509-5177
“If anybody driving through saw anything that they think is unusual, even if they think it’s nothing, we ask that they call our tip line to just relay that information to us,” Fadden said. “Every little piece helps when we put together an investigation to try to determine what happened, and it’s usually something small to point us in the direction to solve an incident like this.”
