A 15-year-old male was shot and hospitalized with life-threatening injuries late Thursday afternoon in north Minneapolis.

Officers from the Fourth Precinct responded around 5:30 p.m. to a shooting at the Marathon gas station at 1120 W. Broadway, according to an email from Minneapolis Police Department spokesman Adam Kennedy.

The officers found evidence of a shooting and a stolen vehicle at the site. While canvassing the area and interviewing witnesses, they learned that a teenage male arrived at North Memorial Health with life-threatening gunshot wounds.

Early investigation found the male was in a stolen vehicle when another vehicle pulled up and someone shot at him multiple times before fleeing. The male was taken to the hospital in a different stolen vehicle and dropped off with an uninjured female teenager, Kennedy said.

There have been no arrests, and police are still investigating.
