It appears to be common buckthorn, which is, unfortunately, a restricted noxious weed in Minnesota and will need to be removed.

I apologize. I believe that my initial identification is incorrect.
This shrub is most likely Cotoneaster, please compare to images here: http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?taxonid=286582&isprofile=0&
