Woman shot after speaking to loud group in Minneapolis

A woman was shot in Minneapolis after speaking to a loud group outside her home. FOX 9's Babs Santos has the story.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A woman was hospitalized at North Memorial Hospital after she was shot outside her home overnight in north Minneapolis. 

The gunfire erupted shortly after she asked a crowd of people gathered in front of her home to quiet down.

Gunfire caught on camera, SUV riddled with bullets

Big picture view:

A doorbell camera on Russell Avenue North captured chilling audio of what neighbors describe as a rapid burst of gunfire just before 3 a.m. 

Several families told FOX 9 they dropped to the floor as bullets flew just feet away from their homes.

"I heard some voices and when I went to look out the front window, that’s when the gunshots started and I hit the ground," one resident said. "It was so close to where I live, right next door. I ain’t never been that close to a shooting before." 

By the numbers:

At least 20 to 40 shots were heard, in what neighbors believe was automatic gunfire. One man showed us his SUV, which was riddled with bullet holes from the front to the back. The vehicle's two front tires were also shot.

"Didn’t nobody else get hurt, I didn’t get hurt, that’s the main thing. The car can be repaired. It’s material," he said.

Confrontation preceded shooting, witnesses say

What they're saying:

Neighbors say they heard screaming, partying, and fighting from a group of adults gathered in four to five cars outside of a home on Russell Avenue North. 

According to police, a woman at the home asked the group to quiet down. Then, gunshots erupted, and residents believe the woman was shot in the shoulder. 

She was later seen walking to an ambulance.

"She looked like she was doing pretty good. She walked out to the car. Thank God," her neighbor said. "Thank God didn’t nobody die. That’s the main thing," one neighbor told us.
