MINNEAPOLIS — A 3-year-old boy has life threatening injuries after a stray bullet struck him in the head inside a Minneapolis house.
Sgt. Steve McCarty says the bullet came from outside at about 6:50 p.m. Monday, but there was no evidence that people inside had been targeted.
McCarty said Tuesday that the toddler is in critical condition and no suspects are in custody.
