Pregnant Rochester woman shot in neck; boyfriend detained

An 18-year-old woman in her third trimester of pregnancy was shot in the neck in a home northeast of Rochester, Minn., and her 17-year-old boyfriend was detained, police said Thursday.
Lisa See, of Rochester, was taken by helicopter Wednesday to nearby St. Marys Hospital and underwent surgery, said Olmsted County Chief Deputy Mark Darnell. She was shot about 12:30 p.m.
See "is alive and in recovery," Darnell said, but he had no further word on her condition or the fate of her fetus. The hospital withheld condition information at the family's request.
The boyfriend is a "person of interest" and is cooperating with investigators, Darnell said. A .22-caliber rifle was recovered at the scene, the chief deputy said.
Darnell said he had no information about "the relationship of the person detained to that of the baby" or what led to the shooting.
Investigators haven't been able to interview the woman, he said.
