Gunfire struck a city snowplow Sunday after a collision in the city's far North Side.
Minneapolis officers responded to a ShotSpotter activation in the 4300 block of N. Fremont Avenue in the Webber-Camden neighborhood at 8:55 p.m. Sunday, according to a news release. Police believe the plow was on the side of the road and was struck by a passing vehicle.
After the collision, the suspects got out of their vehicle and shouted at the plow driver.
As the vehicle left the area, shots were fired toward the plow. The plow was struck by gunfire, according to police.
The snowplow driver called police and was not injured.
A hydraulic line was struck, causing a leak in fluid and three tires on the snowplow were also damaged by gunfire, according to a Minneapolis police news release Tuesday.
The plow was repaired and is back in service. No one has been arrested.
Minneapolis police are investigating. Anyone with information can call 1-800-222-8477 or submit a tip at CrimeStoppersMN.org.
