   MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A 13-year-old boy was fatally shot by a 14-year-old boy   
   in a Minneapolis home early Tuesday morning, according to police.   
      
   What we know   
   The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) said the shooting happened around 1:30   
   a.m. on the 2400 block of Ferrant Place. Officers at the scene found a   
   13-year-old boy inside the house with an apparent gunshot wound, and despite   
   life-saving measures, he    
   was pronounced dead at the scene.   
      
   The preliminary investigation suggests the 13-year-old boy was shot while the   
   14-year-old boy was "handling a gun," a press release read. The 14-year-old   
   boy was taken into custody at the scene.   
      
   Minneapolis police described this incident as an "apparent accidental   
   shooting" but noted officers are still working to determine what led up to the   
   shooting, according to the press release.   
      
   Two adult women and other juveniles were home at the time of the shooting, but   
   no other injuries were reported.   
      
   What they’re saying   
   Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a statement saying, "The death   
   of a child is always incredibly troubling and tragic. Our investigators will   
   work diligently to answer the many questions we have. In addition to   
   supporting the families that    
   are impacted by this tragedy, everyone must make every effort to ensure that   
   every gun is securely stored."   
      
   What we don’t know   
   The MPD said in the press release that officers are "familiar with both of the   
   boys" involved in this incident but did not provide further details.   
      
   Police did not say who owns the firearm or how the teenager got hold of it.
