1 dead, 11 hospitalized in Minneapolis shooting
June 21, 2020Police have confirmed that one person has died following a shooting in central Minneapolis. Eleven people have been hospitalized with gunshot wounds.
Unverified photographs posted to social media showed a storefront with bullet holes through the windows, while a widely circulated video showed crowds of people gathering, with some crouched over victims lying on the pavement, police officers at the scene and shattered glass on the sidewalk.
Another video revealed what the poster said were blood spatters on the pavement.
Earlier, the department advised the public to avoid an area in Uptown Minneapolis, a commercial district that includes several bars and restaurants. They did not give a reason for the crime, or further details.
