7-year-old skateboarder struck in hit-and-run in Minneapolis

A 7-year-old boy was left with life-threatening injuries after a driver reportedly hit him and then fled the scene in north Minneapolis on Saturday night.

The boy was skateboarding near the intersection of 33rd and Russell avenues N. near Cleveland Park when he was hit by a vehicle shortly before 8 p.m., police said.

Police responding to reports of a hit-and-run rendered medical aid until the boy could be transported to Hennepin County Medical Center. No further information about his condition was available Sunday afternoon.

Police are still trying to determine what happened at the scene, according to a statement sent to the media. A vehicle description was not included in the statement. No arrests have been made.

An Israeli strike on a mosque in the Gaza Strip early Sunday killed at least 19 people, Palestinian officials said, as Israel intensified its bombardment of northern Gaza and southern Lebanon in a widening war with Iran-allied militant groups across the region.
