‘Tragic and senseless’ gunfire in Uptown kills 1, wounds 11 – StarTribune.com
Gunmen unleashed a torrent of bullets in a crowded block early Sunday in the heart of Minneapolis’ Uptown area, killing one person and wounding 11 others in one of the city’s most violent shootings in recent memory.
The gunfire sent terrified bar patrons and revelers in the area, newly crowded after weeks of COVID-19 closures, diving for cover, unsure of what was unfolding. Bystanders and police officers rushed to help the wounded and to get people to safety.
One man was killed, police said. The 11 survivors, all adults, were scattered at area hospitals with varying injuries, but all were expected to survive.
Police Chief Medaria Arradondo called the carnage “tragic and senseless” and said the FBI and state agencies will assist his department as it deals with the recent surge in shootings around the city.
Presumably this sort of thing will stop once the police are defunded.
