June 21, 2020 | Jon Dougherty
Several people where shot on Saturday in Minneapolis leading to at least one death as the trend of criminality that began long before the death of George Floyd seems likely to increase even more now that the city council has chosen to disband the police force.
According to reports, at least 11 people were struck by bullets around 12:37 a.m. Sunday morning, as scores of residents phoned emergency services after hearing gunshots in the 2900 block of Hennepin Avenue South.
Minneapolis police said that more than one person was involved in the shooting and that the assailants approached the area on foot before opening fire.
“Police arrived and located several people suffering from gunshot wounds,†the Minneapolis Police Department said in a press release. “Multiple ambulances responded and transported victims to Hennepin County Medical Center. Others were transported to area hospitals in private vehicles.â€
Good Morning America correspondent Jon Haworth said that 12 people were struck, and one adult male died at the hospital. The remaining victims were also adults.
