Developing.
Squad 211 arrived, calling Code 4 for EMS.
23:10
--Second shooting victim found by police, that one has a gun (recovered by police). CPR started. Possibly the suspect.
Now police are saying the suspect fled the area: BM, black shorts, black sweatshirt, last seen northbound on 13 Ave SE.
Squad 260
Sounding like at least one is fatal. Car 710 requested and crime scene tape going up.
The one GSW victim had two guns on him.
Another handgun was located near the entrance of the Kollege Klub.
So, three guns recovered so far.
We received a photo of the scene of the reported fatal victim. They appear to be light skinned. The other, who was reportedly shot in the foot, was reported to be a black male.
We will not be posting the photo.
Police located a vehicle at 4th St SE and 14th Ave SE that they think may be related to the shooting. 01:12
MPD confirms the fatality, and another with a non-life threatening gunshot.
Day 3 #ChauvinTrial thread.
Minneapolis fire fighter Genevieve Hansen, who was an off-duty bystander at the GF incident, retakes the stand this morning. She was reprimanded by Judge Cahill yesterday for being argumentative with defense & the court.
Witness Christopher Martin, 19, takes the stand. He was living above Cup Foods & was working as cashier at the store on May 25 at the time of the #GeorgeFloyd incident.
Being questioned by prosecution Matthew Frank (lower R. Also pictured: Eric Nelson and #DerekChauvin).
Martin said GF came in to buy cigarettes. Martin conversed with GF and said it took GF a little long to reply and he appeared high.
Store security video being shown of #GeorgeFloyd in the store (R). GF can be seen muttering and shuffling.
Day 2 #ChauvinTrial thread.
A motion was heard this a.m. on protecting the ID of witnesses who were minors at the time (there are 4).
Judge ruled minors can use first name or initials, but their names are public on witness list. And one has already sought publicity thru media.
Again, here is our compilation of the police dispatch audio from the time of the #GeorgeFloyd incident. The dispatch audio has been referenced several times in the #ChauvinTrial already.
MPD confirmation on last night's double shooting in #Dinkytown that resulted in one dead and another hospitalized w/non-life threatening injuries. Three guns were recovered at the scene.
Police not looking for more suspects.
No danger to the public.
ME will ID the fatality.
As a refresher, this is at least the third double shooting in #Dinkytown since the first of the year.
During the #GeorgeFloyd riots, @MplsWard4 Phillipe Cunningham posted that KKK members in robes were walking around north Mpls(1) & implied they were responsible for burning buildings & destruction. Today, he doubled down on that assertion in a new doc(2).
2 days after Cunningham's assertion, Dept of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington was directly asked about it at a presser, & he said there was zero evidence and no verifiable reports of KKK being in Minnesota.
At this point, Cunningham is irresponsibly fomenting division.
If you care to contact Phillipe Cunningham about his attempt to irresponsibly foment division and his continued effort to continue to spread officially debunked information to enflame discontent:
