[question everything]

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO/AP) — Minneapolis police are investigating after a shooting in the Uptown area left one person dead and 11 others injured overnight. The incident was one of many reported shootings overnight.

According to police, on Sunday morning at 12:37 a.m., numerous 911 calls reported multiple people shot on the 2900 block of Hennepin Avenue South.

There, officers found several people suffering from gunshot wounds. Police say a preliminary investigation has determined that individuals on foot started shooting in the mid-2900 block of Hennepin Ave. S. and moved north. People ran from the scene and the suspects also fled.

Police say a total of 12 victims — all adults — suffered gunshot wounds. One of the injured, a man, died at the hospital. The remaining 11 victims suffered non-life threatening injuries, according to police. No one is in custody at this point. Five detectives have been brought in to investigate.

1. I used to live in the Mpls Uptown area. Lovely-near the lakes and fun spots. Sad to see

this violence occurring.

2. It IS sad

I lived in St. Paul for 15 years so spent lots of time in Mpls. I really loved the Twin Cities. So many wonderful things happened there. Art, music, etc.

A man was shot multiple times, suffering life threatening injuries, outside a Crystal bar at around 2 a.m. Sunday

Just east of Douglas Drive, not at all an area I associate with violence. I can't find diddly squat in a Google search of news.

Edited to add: a Google search on Crystal MN shooting

had a few hits.

Over the weekend, another shooting outside the same bar left one man dead and another injured. Investigators are not sure if these two recent shootings in Crystal are related.

The TV news report mentions that it's near North Minneapolis which has been having a lot of shootings in the past few days ...

I thought Big Louie's was kind of far from that scene, but I guess not.
