12-year-old critically injured in accidental St. Paul shooting, police say
Police are investigating after they say a 12-year-old accidentally shot himself in his St. Paul residence.
St. Paul Fire Department medics transported him to Regions Hospital in critical condition, said Nikki Muehlhausen, a police spokesperson.
The boy had obtained the gun himself, which his parents didn’t know, and police are investigating how he got it, Muehlhausen said.
Officers found the injured child when they responded shortly before 1:30 a.m. Monday to a report of shots fired at a residence on Congress Street near Stryker Avenue on the West Side.
