Police: 1 Dead, 1 Critical After North Minneapolis Shooting
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Police says one man is dead and another is in critical condition Friday evening after a shooting in north Minneapolis.

The man had no pulse when officers began lifesaving measures. He was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Other officers went to the Aldrich Avenue scene, but no one was there. Police soon learned a man with a gunshot wound had been brought to Hennepin Healthcare's emergency room. He is in critical yet stable condition late Friday night.
