STILLWATER, Minn. (AP) - Police have arrested a second man in connection with a shooting that critically injured a woman who was left for dead along a rural road in Washington County.

Angel Sardina-Padilla was arrested in Minneapolis Tuesday night. He’s being held on $2 million bond and is accused of being an accomplice to attempted murder and kidnapping. The man accused of pulling the trigger, Luis Cortez Mendoza, is also being held on $2 million bond.
