1:09A police officer witnessed a shooting from one vehicle to another Friday evening — then watched the victims' car crash into a third car in a busy north Minneapolis neighborhood.
Nobody was critically injured or killed, said John Elder, a police spokesman.
"We have four people who are injured. One we know has a gunshot wound," he said. "The other three appear to have injuries sustained as a result of the motor vehicle crash."
Elder said police were looking for the suspects in the first vehicle, a dark-colored SUV, which fled the scene near Lowry and Knox avenues after gunshots came from it about 7:45 p.m.
One witness, who lives near the scene, said he heard as many as 16 or 17 shots and also a loud crash, then saw two teens running from the crash.
"They looked like they were running for their lives," he said, as his wife and 2-year-old daughter stood at his side.
Just before the shooting, the officer in a marked cruiser noticed two vehicles driving recklessly up Knox Avenue, Elder said. At the stop sign at Lowry and Knox, the shooter's SUV pulled alongside another sedan and opened fire, Elder said.
The driver of the car being fired upon then drove into the intersection trying to flee, only to have his car struck by a third car that was westbound on Lowry, he said.
