A man was fighting for his life after being hit by a vehicle and shot during an altercation early Saturday in Minneapolis.

Officers responded shortly after 12:30 a.m. to north Lowry and Fremont avenues, where they found a man with gunshot wounds, police Sgt. Garrett Parten said. The man was taken to North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale with potentially life-threatening injuries.

Police had made no arrests as of noon Saturday.

According to Parten, investigators believe the man was at a bus stop when he “got into an altercation” with several people in a vehicle. He said the driver hit the man with his vehicle as he tried to run away, and one of the passengers shot the man. The vehicle then fled the scene.
