Two teenagers were injured — including one with a head wound — after a shooting in St. Paul, Wednesday morning.

Police said they were called to the intersection of North Frank Street and Ross Avenue East in the city’s Dayton Bluff neighborhood just before 10:30 a.m., adding that callers reported shots fired and about ten people fighting.

There, officers found a 14-year-old boy with a head wound and a 15-year-old boy with a grazed legaccording to preliminary information from the Police of St. Paul. Firefighters St. Paul transported both to Regional Hospital for treatment, a police spokesman said.

No suspects were found.

Another incident of violence between teenagers followed the morning before on the north side of Minneapolis.

Minneapolis police say a 14-year-old boy has been arrested in what officers believe was the accidental shooting death of his 13-year-old friend.

The Hennepin County Prosecutor’s Office did not release details because of his age, but confirmed he was charged and appeared in court today.

Connie Rhodes is the founder of Restoration, Inc., an organization working to change outcomes for teens and young adults caught in the cycle of violence.

“My heart goes out to the family,” she reacted Wednesday.

“This should not happen. You know, I get so tired of seeing our young people die.”

Rhodes uses her therapy experience to provide restorative therapy and provide youth with alternative activities and outlets “and learn to resolve conflicts in real time.” She does this work with her team, in part, from a purple building known as the Haven of Hope on Fremont Avenue North.

“Because it affects you. You just don’t see your friend die and you’re okay with going to school and you’re okay with going on,” she said. “Then it happens again. It happens again, then it happens again, right?”

In an interview Tuesday night, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the shooter and victim in Tuesday’s shooting were well known to police.

“I believe the shooter in this case just came off electronic monitoring after doing, I believe, 14 days of electronic monitoring for a gun offense,” Chief O’Hara added.

“Come on. I mean, I’d give up my kid more than that. They’re given 14 days of electronic monitoring. Are we serious?”

“There has to be a consequence,” Rhodes agreed. “Every action has a consequence.”

Beyond effective consequences and restorative therapy, Rhodes and the chief emphasized the importance of gun locks and other measures to prevent children from gaining access to firearms.

“It’s extremely important that people, one, are trained how to use them safely and make sure they store their firearms so they can’t be stolen or a child can’t get their hands on them and end up killing themselves ,” Chief O’Hara said.

“If a family’s going to have a gun, you know, we’ve got to have a gun lock, and Restoration, Inc., we can provide them … We have free gun locks,” Rhodes added.

“And I think people can change. I think minds can change,” Rhodes continued. “I’ve seen young men who once carried a gun … now, you know, they’re working. They have a good job. He’s doing great. They work with their families. It is not hopeless at all. It’s just a matter of working together.”

Rhodes said families can contact Restoration, Inc. directly to obtain a free gun lock and access restorative therapy, job training and other resources offered by the organization.
