Minneapolis police say two teens were wounded when two groups of people starting shooting at each other Sunday near a Cinco de Mayo celebration.
Police spokesman Sgt. Bill Palmer says one of the teens was hit in the chest and is at Hennepin County Medical Center with "life-threatening injuries."
Palmer says the other teen was hit in the foot and lower leg and is at HCMC with non-life threatening injuries.
Witnesses told KMSP-TV the victims were struck when a group of young people started shooting into the crowd of about 2,000 people.
The shooting happened around 2:40 p.m at an intersection just northwest of Powderhorn Lake Park. No one was in custody.
