Investigators believe another vehicle "pulled up alongside" them and opened fire. A WCCO crew on scene saw the vehicle, which was covered in more than a dozen bullet holes.

The man's injuries are not life threatening, but police say the teens suffered "potentially life-threatening gunshot wounds." All three are being treated at HCMC.

Police are still investigating.
