Paramedics with Hennepin EMS en route to a call had to summon help for themselves after a bullet came through the windshield of their ambulance.
One paramedic was hit by shards of glass when the bullet passed through the windshield and into the ambulance about 1:39 a.m. Monday in the area of Hennepin Avenue S. and the Lyndale/Groveland avenues area in Minneapolis, officials said.
The ambulance was heading to a Code 2 call without its lights or siren on when paramedics said they heard what sounded like several gunshots in the area not far from the Walker Art Center, officials said. A Minneapolis police report said the paramedics reported that their vehicle had been shot at.
