A man driving on a Minneapolis freeway was shot Monday morning and critically wounded, officials said.

The gunfire occurred shortly after midnight on eastbound Interstate 94 in north Minneapolis, police said.

A 20-year-old Minneapolis woman in the vehicle with the man was not hurt, police said.

No arrests have been made.

The man, identified by police as 21-year-old Abdek Hachi Farah, of Edina, was found by police in a vehicle below the West Broadway overpass and taken by emergency medical responders to HCMC with "potentially life-threatening gunshot wounds," a police statement said.

"MPD investigators are leading the investigation and working to determine the sequence of events leading up to the shooting," the statement continued.

A portion of eastbound I-94 freeway was closed for about three hours as police investigated.
