The Minneapolis Police Department says police responded to a report of shots being fired at a gas station on the 2600 block of University Avenue Northeast, where they found a 14-year-old boy with a gunshot wound lying on the ground outside of an SUV, a press release says.

He was taken to the hospital, where he died about three hours later. He has not yet been identified.

The preliminary investigation indicates the teenager was in an SUV with others when people in another vehicle fired gunshots, police said.

"There were no other reported injuries. The SUV was not reported stolen, and it is unknown if the suspect vehicle was stolen," the press release notes.

A woman in her 30s was arrested for an unrelated warrant. Investigators are working to determine how she is related to the shooting, police said.

"Teenagers, Kias and Hyundais, and guns have become a common recipe for violent crime and tragedy," said Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara. "The death of a teenager out on the street is outrageous and totally unacceptable. The MPD will aggressively investigate this incident to its logical conclusion and do all we can to bring some sense of justice for the victim and his loved ones, but we all must work together to end this trend of youth violence."

You have no idea if the gun was legal or not.

Who lets a 14-year-old run at 3am?

Some 14 year olds in my class at school in the early 90's were already going to pubs with fake ids. They conned their parents that they were going to a friend's house. And their friends did the same.

I remember being in a pub aged 18 and there was a 16 year old friend of a friend at the bar. Legal drinking age here is 18.
