A 10-year-old boy was shot and killed in an apartment in Minneapolis while he was with another minor shortly before midnight on Friday, police said. Police respond to a call for shots fired at the downtown apartment complex around 11:35 p.m. Emergency correspondents immediately began CPR and transported the boy to a local hospital, where he later died. “We have two minors alone in a house with access to a gun and that’s always a bad recipe,” Minneapolis Police Department spokesman Garrett Parten told a news conference on Saturday.

Police did not disclose the age of the other minor who was at home at the time of the shooting. The Minneapolis Police Department is now urging the public to secure their weapons after the shooting. “We urge any gun owner or anyone with a firearm in their home to take any action necessary to secure their firearms,” Parthen said. “This will include things like trigger locks and locking these weapons in a locked unit that is locked and not easy to open, something like a gun safe.” CLICK HERE TO RECEIVE THE FOX NEWS APPLICATION So far this year, 88 children and 371 teenagers have been killed by gunfire, according to the non-profit Gun Violence Archive.
