A man driving on a Minneapolis freeway was shot Monday morning and critically wounded, officials said.
The gunfire occurred shortly after midnight on eastbound Interstate 94 in north Minneapolis, police said.
A 20-year-old Minneapolis woman in the vehicle with the man was not hurt, police said.
No arrests have been made.
The man, identified by police as 21-year-old Abdek Hachi Farah, of Edina, was found by police in a vehicle below the West Broadway overpass and taken by emergency medical responders to HCMC with “potentially life-threatening gunshot wounds,” a police statement said.
“MPD investigators are leading the investigation and working to determine the sequence of events leading up to the shooting,” the statement continued.
A portion of eastbound I-94 freeway was closed for about three hours as police investigated.
