(Minneapolis, MN) -- There aren't many answers for U of M students who are worried about the rise in crime near campus.

The university held another listening session Monday evening. Students and parents say they don't feel safe in some areas around campus, particularly in Dinkytown. They point to last month's shooting of a 15-year-old outside a home that's been called a 'problem property.'

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told the crowd they are doing all they can to make the blocks around campus safe.
