Overview
- A cluster of three shootings that occurred early Sunday left one man dead and two other people with non‑life‑threatening injuries.
- Officers found the man with a life‑threatening gunshot wound on the 2400 block of Bloomington Avenue and a firearm was recovered at the scene; he later died at Hennepin Healthcare.
- Police arrested two teenage boys, ages 14 and 15, and recovered a firearm after a 15‑year‑old girl was shot near Hennepin Avenue in Loring Park; the boys were booked into juvenile detention.
- About 20 minutes after the Loring Park shooting, a man was wounded following an apparent parking‑lot altercation on the 2500 block of 4th Street Northeast and was taken to North Memorial with non‑life‑threatening injuries.
- Investigations remain active with no arrests reported in the Bloomington Avenue or 4th Street Northeast cases, police are seeking tips, and local debate has focused on whether current MPD staffing and resources affect the city's response to concentrated violence.
