2/ The suspect named in the shooting is the "neighbor from hell" we previously posted.
John Sawchak.
3/ NEW:
Crime Watch received a copy of home surveillance video showing the shooting of the neighbor on 35th and Grand Ave S on Wednesday, allegedly by John Sawchak, who is not yet in custody. The neighbor is still hospitalized with a bullet lodged near his spine.
Downtown Minneapolis - SHOOTING. At least three people are shot.

But @MplsWard9 Jason Chavez and @MplsWard12 Aurin Chowdhury want to give people at drug encampments preferred status and make it harder to remove encampments.
3/ Pics from the scene of the double shooting at a south Minneapolis encampment this morning, where one died.
This is how #MNmedia misleads you on crime statistics. Although the Geriatric Neighbor was doing a report on juvenile auto theft and how the current system isn't working to deter it, they quoted Hennepin County auto thefts this year at 475.
But they didn't tell you that DOESN'T include Minneapolis, which is sitting at 4300 auto thefts so far this year. It's a stunning number. Why won't they tell you?
2/ In fact, looking at this closer, the number @UbahDAli and @WCCO listed in the screenshot above is NOT the number of auto thefts, but is the number only being PROSECUTED so far this year. So, COMPLETELY WRONG INFORMATION.
WCCO needs to do a retraction.
3/ So some editor/producer at lying @WCCO is so out of touch & lazy that they actually thought 475 auto thefts sounded like an accurate number, when there's been nothing but talk (here on Crime Watch, at least) about out of control auto thefts.
Downtown Minneapolis - STABBING at Bolero Flats, 21st floor. One reportedly stabbed in the neck and back.
1117 Marquette Ave

Police arrived and are being told the person who is stabbed is nude and possibly running down Marquette.

3/ Police say the two stabbing incidents are related.
