Police: 1 Dead, Several Injured In Minneapolis Shooting

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO/AP) -- One person is dead and several others were hurt Wednesday night in north Minneapolis in an incident where multiple shots were fired.

Minneapolis police say the shooting happened in the area of the 1500 block of Newton Avenue North at 8:50 p.m., not far from the city's 4th Precinct. By the time police arrived at the scene, one person was already dead. Police say they believe more than five people were injured. All were sent to nearby hospitals.

Minneapolis police said there were about 20 officers -- including K-9 units -- on the scene and six investigators working on the case. They canvassed the neighborhood looking for witnesses, as they're still trying to determine what led up to the shooting.

Police say anyone with information should call 612-692-TIPS.
