   MINNEAPOLIS — Four children in a stolen vehicle were shot in north   
   Minneapolis early Sunday, police said.   
      
   Around 1 a.m., police got a 911 call about a shooting in the 1400 block of   
   Plymouth Avenue North.   
      
   Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said there were five minors in a stolen   
   Kia. According to the chief, a sedan started following and shooting at the   
   stolen Kia with a fully automatic weapon. Four of the minors were shot — two   
   boys and two girls    
   between 11 and 14 years old.   
      
   One girl was shot in the head and is in critical condition. The other three   
   suffered injuries that were not life-threatening.   
      
   "Four kids shot between 11 and 14 is outrageous," O'Hara said. "And everyone   
   should be up in arms over it."   
      
   The chief said the fifth minor was arrested.   
      
   O'Hara also said two of the five minors in the car were arrested less than two   
   weeks ago. He says more needs to be done to prevent these type of crimes.   
      
   "We are failing to deter this behavior. And with that being said, we are   
   failing these kids as well," O'Hara said.   
      
    It's an effort Zion Baptist Church Pastor Brian Herron is actively working   
   on. Herron said he's "devastated" by what happened.   
      
   "Heartbroken," he said. "That our children are experiencing and engaged in   
   this level of violence in our community."   
      
   Herron tells WCCO he is on the streets working with youth to combat violence   
   like this, but he wants to see a more collective effort to reach troubled   
   families at the root of the problem.   
      
   "I'm not condemning parents, what I'm saying is parents have to be parents,"   
   he said. "And if they need help, let's get them the help that they need."   
      
   The pastor said he has been aware of this group of kids and is actively trying   
   to get them help. He says it's an issue that needs to be front and center.   
      
   "While it's a blow and while it is devastating, it should inspire us to do   
   more. To do more to save our children," Herron said.
