MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A 72-year-old man is fighting for his life Monday morning following a shooting in south Minneapolis.

The Minneapolis Police Department says the shooting happened around 7:30 a.m. on the 2900 block of East Franklin Avenue, in the city’s Seward neighborhood.

First responders found a man with a gunshot wound. Emergency crews brought the victim to a hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.
