Police: 6 People Hurt In Minneapolis Shooting
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Authorities say as many as six people were hurt in a shooting in the Little Earth of United Tribes area of Minneapolis Wednesday night.
The Minneapolis Police Department responded to a shooting at about 7:45 p.m. on the 2400 block of Ogema Place. The address is located near the Little Earth housing complex.
Police say six people suffered gunshot wounds, including at least one juvenile, and two people were being questioned in the incident. The incident started as a fight between a group of individuals, and at some point shots were fired. All the victims appear to have suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Police say three people have been detained while the investigation is pending.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey released this statement Wednesday night:
Gun violence is not acceptable in any of our neighborhoods, and Little Earth is no exception.
While I am grateful that no lives were lost and for the MPD's quick response, this violence cannot be tolerated.
Chief Arradondo and I will be working with Little Earth leadership and residents to not only strengthen the community's safety — but also provide additional attention to the challenges that confront the community.
