A 15-year-old girl was fatally shot late Tuesday in a Columbia Heights apartment, authorities said.
Derryanna D. Davis of Columbia Heights was declared dead at the scene by emergency responders who arrived at the apartment building in the 3900 block of NE. 3rd Street just before midnight, Anoka County sheriff's spokeswoman Tierney Peters said Friday.
Two juveniles were questioned at the scene by law enforcement and released, Peters said.
The Sheriff's Office said information about the shooting was limited.
"This is a horrific loss of life. We will continue the investigation until the truth is found and justice is served," Sheriff James Stuart said in a statement.
