Minneapolis (KROC AM News) - The family of the young Minneapolis girl who was shot in the head Monday night says she has died.

She was the third child to be shot in Minneapolis in the past two weeks. 

A fundraiser has been set up to help the family pay medical and funeral expenses. As of Thursday morning, it had raised nearly $50,000.
