Two Mass Shootings in Minneapolis Leave Thirteen Injured
Thirteen people were injured, five critically, in two mass shootings that occurred within 12 hours at homeless encampments in Minneapolis. The first shooting happened around 10 p.m. on Monday near South 28th Avenue and East Lake Street, where eight people were shot, and about 30 shots were fired. Five of the victims were found on-site, with two having bullet wounds to the head, and three additional victims arrived at hospitals independently. A tent caught fire during the incident, and firefighters were called to extinguish it. The second shooting occurred around 11:10 a.m. on Monday near the Interstate 35W Lake Street Station, at East Lake Street and Stevens Avenue in the Lyndale neighborhood. Five men were injured, with one suffering life-threatening injuries, and four others sustaining non-life-threatening injuries. Two of the injured were found inside the transit center, and one was found on a nearby walkway. A fifth victim, who was grazed by a bullet, was found later near East Lake Street and First Avenue South and refused medical treatment. Police are investigating a possible connection between the incidents and are reviewing video evidence and collecting on-site evidence to determine the number of shooters involved.
