Minnesota teen allegedly shot parents, a bystander, because they took away his phone
The teen also allegedly shot a bystander and later turned himself in, prosecutors said, after officers recovered the pistol near Bemidji Middle School.
- On May 7, a 16-year-old shot his parents and a bystander at an apartment complex on Itasca Loop Northwest in Bemidji, telling police he became "irate" after they revoked his cellphone privileges.
- Beltrami County Prosecutors reported officers found the mother with an abdominal gunshot wound, while the father and bystander suffered leg wounds requiring tourniquets before All three were stabilized for hospital transport.
- Following the shooting, the teen turned himself in at the station, admitting he obtained the firearm without his parents' knowledge; officers later recovered the pistol near Bemidji Middle School.
- A juvenile petition filed by Prosecutors charges the boy with possessing a handgun under age 18, first-degree assault, and two counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, causing substantial bodily harm.
- Because of his age, Minnesota law protects the shooter's identity, so he has not been publicly identified, and All legal proceedings regarding the suspect remain confidential under the juvenile petition process.
