Minneapolis shooting: Two dead, eight wounded as gunmen open fire near nightclub

Firstpost  

It was not the only shooting in the city overnight as five people were shot at in separate incidents. One of them later died, reports said Minneapolis: Two people were killed and eight more were wounded, one seriously, in a shooting in downtown Minneapolis early Saturday, police said. Police spokesperson John Elder said the gunfire stemmed from two men in a crowd who got into an argument near the Monarch nightclub, pulled out guns and started shooting, KMSP-TV reported. “We can stem crime in our city, but it will take all of us coming together with a renewed commitment to preventative work and a shared resolve to stop the gun violence and bring the perpetrators to justice.” Gun-related homicides in midsized and large American cities have skyrocketed during the pandemic, and criminologists believe coronavirus-related socioeconomic loss in many communities is driving that trend. Frey and other city leaders have come under pressure to reform the city’s police department and promote racial justice and healing since the death of George Floyd almost a year ago.
