Hundreds of law enforcement leaders will meet in downtown Minneapolis this week for a Justice Department summit on crime reduction.

Two people were shot in Robbinsdale shortly after midnight Sunday morning. Police have released few details about what happened, but say both shooting victims were juveniles. One person is in critical condition while the other has non-life-threatening injuries.

And Minnesota DNR officials were busy this fall apprehending people for illegally cutting the tops off of spruce trees.

This is a MPR News morning update, hosted by Elena See. Music by Gary Meister.
