A young girl shot in Minneapolis on Saturday night was hospitalized, police said.

Officers responding to reports of shots fired around 10 p.m. outside a home in the 2200 block of Fifth Avenue N. found a toddler inside with an "apparent non-life-threatening" gunshot wound, the Minneapolis Police Department said in a news release.

EMS transported the girl to the hospital, while forensic scientists collected evidence, police said. They did not arrest anyone.

No new information was available Sunday on the girl's condition or the investigation, a police spokesperson said.
