BURNSVILLE, Minn. – Police have identified an eight-year-boy who died from injuries suffered in a shooting at a Burnsville townhome.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office says Amir Harden was shot in the head and neck last Thursday and died in the hospital Sunday night.
Police found that Harden’s father had also been shot. Investigators say it appears the father shot Harden before turning the gun on himself. The father remains hospitalized in critical condition.
The boy’s mother says her son was trying to shield her when he was shot. The father will face charges if he recovers from his injuries.
