MINNEAPOLIS — Authorities identified a woman who was shot and killed Saturday morning in Minneapolis.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner said Wednesday that Curstin Hailey Pope, 18, died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. A 13-year-old was also shot during the incident.
Following the shooting, Minneapolis police said the woman and teenager "may have been injured by the same bullet."
According to MPD, police first responded to the area of the 3600 block of Dupont Avenue North on reports of a shooting around 6 a.m.
The 911 caller said they had heard a gun go off during an "argument between a mother and her children," according to a statement from MPD.
When they arrived, police found Pope with a potentially life-threatening gunshot wound and the 13-year-old male with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Both teens were brought to North Memorial Hospital, but after lifesaving efforts, Pope was pronounced dead.
"It speaks to the risk that is involved when a handgun is available, and there is some sort of conflict or some sort of disagreement going on," O'Hara said. "And this is an absolutely tragic result this morning."
A 39-year-old woman was taken into custody.
Investigators are working to determine whether the gunshot was accidental or intentional.
