A 14-year-old boy accidentally shot a 13-year-old boy early Tuesday in a Minneapolis home occupied by several other people, officials said.

The “apparently accidental” shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. near the intersection of N. 24th and Sheridan avenues in the 2400 block of N. Ferrant Place, police said in a statement.

Officers arrived, saw the 13-year-old had been shot once and rendered immediate aid to the teenager before he died at the scene, according to police.

Police records identified the victim as Qudir D. Blackwell.

“Preliminary information indicates that a 14-year-old boy was handling a gun when the 13-year-old boy was shot,” the police statement continued. Police have not released the identities of the teenagers.

The 14-year-old remained at the scene, was arrested and booked into the Hennepin County Juvenile Detention Center.

There were two adult females and other juveniles in the home at the time of the shooting, police said.

“The death of a child is always incredibly disturbing and tragic,” said Police Chief Brian O’Hara. “Our investigators will be working diligently to answer the many questions we have. In addition to supporting the families affected by this tragedy, everyone must make every effort to ensure that every gun is safely stored.”
