Officers responded to reports of a shooting in Minneapolis' Riverside neighborhood about 12:45 p.m. Wednesday.  When police arrived they found the 2-year-old with a critical gunshot wound. He was loaded into an ambulance but died at the scene.

The boys' parents were downstairs. At least one other child was in the town house.
