Auto repair shop owner shot, injured in Richfield, Minnesota
RICHFIELD, Minn. (KMSP) - A man was shot in the foot following an altercation in a store in Richfield, Minnesota Wednesday.
Police responded to a call shortly before noon at Maaco Collison Repair and Auto Painting on Cedar Avenue where a man known to the business “got into an argument with the business owner,” and shot the owner several times, according to a press release.
The owner was shot in the foot and transported to Hennepin County Medical Center.
The suspect fled in his car, and while a police officer pursued the man, he terminated the pursuit because of traffic conditions and the suspect’s driving conduct.
