Minneapolis police are searching for a suspect after three people including a toddler were shot Tuesday evening on the city's north side.
A 14-month-old toddler was shot in the shoulder, a woman in her 20s was shot in a leg and a 17-year-old boy also was shot in the leg.
Police spokeswoman Cyndi Barrington said all three victims are expected to survive.
Barrington says the shooting was reported around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 2900 block of Lyndale Avenue North, near Farview Park. Police say a large crowd had been standing outside when a suspect approached, fired shots and fled on foot.
