Nine People Wounded in Shooting Outside Reign Nightclub in Minneapolis

Police say the case is under active investigation and they are appealing for witnesses and tips.

Overview

  • The shooting occurred early Sunday outside the Reign Event Center on the 2900 block of Hennepin Avenue in the Uptown neighborhood and officers say they reached the scene in under a minute.
  • Nine people between 18 and 27 years old were treated for gunshot wounds with three reported to have potentially life‑threatening injuries.
  • Officers summoned backup from all five precincts and victims were taken to Hennepin Healthcare and Abbott Northwestern for treatment.
  • The Minneapolis Police Firearm Assault Shoot Team is leading the probe into whether the shooting followed an argument and whether rounds were fired from a vehicle; no arrests have been reported.
  • The attack adds to a string of summer shootings in Uptown, including an unrelated mass shooting on the same block in June 2020, and is likely to intensify local scrutiny of public-safety responses.
