Minneapolis police officer shot in patrol car clearly was 'intended target'

A Minneapolis police officer sitting in his patrol car was shot Saturday morning, and Police Chief Janee Harteau said "there is little doubt that an officer was the intended target."
The wounded officer was one of two who had just finished responding to a reported burglary when he was shot just before 5 a.m. (6 a.m. ET), Minneapolis police said in a statement. His partner promptly drove him to a nearby hospital, where he was in stable condition later Saturday morning.
"The chief is now with this officer and his family is with him, as well," police spokesman Scott Seroka told CNN. "He is doing OK."
At that point, authorities were searching the area but did not have anyone in custody in connection with the shooting. Seroka declined to offer details on what he called "the suspect."
Authorities believe the wounded officer wasn't targeted personally, but was shot simply because he is a police officer, Seroka added.

Wonder is Al Sharpton and Obama are headed to Minneapolis?

So in other words, the guy who shot him didn't hit any innocent bystanders?

Most likely an accidental discharge by an innocent Somali asylum seeker.

I think the article is trying to make a connection between NYC and this incident.
To me I don't think that's the case. He was shot responding to a call, the perp most likely didn't seek out an officer just to shoot.
Who knows I might be wrong.

The shooter probably located the cop using the Waze App

Details aren't clear right now. Sounds like the call was over or just about over and then he was shot. Odd.

The two had just finished handling the burglary call about 5 a.m. when one of the cops was shot while standing outside their patrol car.
"There is little doubt that an officer was the intended target of this shooting and that this officer just happened to be the one who was there," said Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
