Gunman's 'random shots' in Oakland, Minneapolis kill 10-year-old A man has apparently opened fire at random objects, killing a 10-year-old boy. A GUNMAN apparently firing randomly at vehicles has killed a 10-year-old and wounded the child's mother and another woman. Several bursts of gunfire erupted about 6:10pm (11.10am Tuesday AEDT) near a Rainbow Foods store in Oakland, Minneapolis, KMSP-TV reported. The gunman fired at a car carrying the 10-year-old and the child's mother, Oakdale Police Chief Bill Sullivan said. The child died and the mother was wounded in the arm, he said, who would not say whether the child was a boy or a girl. A woman in another car was struck and wounded in the hand, Mr Sullivan said. Both women are expected to recover, he said. "It appears to be entirely random," Mr Sullivan said. At this time it appears he was randomly shooting at vehicles. A 33-year-old man was in custody and was being questioned by investigators, Mr Sullivan said. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported the man lives in the neighbourhood. Authorities believe there are no other suspects and there is no danger to the public, Sullivan said. "It's sick," Oakdale Mayor Carmen Sarrack told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune on Monday night. What can you say when a 9-year-old or 10-year-old is killed? ... People are devastated that this could happen in our city.
