Overview
- Police rushed to 15 E. Grant St. on Wednesday after a 911 call and entered the Loring Towers high‑rise within minutes, finding victims in the lobby and following more gunfire to an upper floor.
- Two civilians died and the suspected shooter was also found dead, bringing the total fatalities to three as investigators continue to probe how the suspect died.
- Three Minneapolis officers were injured during the response; two suffered gunshot wounds (one required surgery) and a third had a non‑gunfire injury, and all are reported in stable condition.
- Officers reported encountering a haze on an upper floor that sharply reduced visibility as they moved through the building and were fired upon, complicating the rescue and tactical response.
- The FBI, ATF and the Minnesota BCA joined the Minneapolis Police Department in an active investigation that is focusing on motive, the disputed circumstances of the suspect’s death, and whether an earlier eviction-related dispute at the complex was connected.
