Three charged in double shooting in Brooklyn Center

The Hennepin County Attorney's Office has charged three men with attempted murder stemming from a double shooting last week in Brooklyn Center.

Police say two men were wounded after an apparent drug deal turned into an armed robbery. Shots were fired inside a car while a 2-year-old boy sat in the backseat.

The charges say that one of the men was shot in the mouth. The other shooting victim was shot in the face and lost his left eye. The boy was apparently not physically harmed.

According to the charges, one of the shooting suspects remains at large.
