Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara described the shooting as "terrible," confirming it's linked to at least three vehicles driving erratically in the park just before 2 p.m. Monday.

Investigators recovered multiple shell casings, indicating numerous rounds fired, and are actively seeking at least one shooter.

O'Hara described how the victim was found by a "good samaritan" about two blocks away with another boy helping him leave the scene.

"They came out of their house, put them in their car, drove towards Penn to go to the hospital and ran into police."

He added that it's still unclear whether the child was an unintended target or caught in crossfire.

Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
