MINNEAPOLIS — One student was shot and killed, and another severely wounded outside a school Tuesday afternoon in Richfield, a suburb of Minneapolis-St. Paul, police said.
The shooting happened just after noon on the sidewalk outside the South Education Center, an alternative school in the Intermediate District 287 that serves students from pre-K to age 21.
Richfield Police Chief Jay Henthorne said officers arrived to the school in the 7400 block of South Penn Avenue to discover the two wounded on the sidewalk outside. The suspects had fled the scene by then, he said.
