Police: South Mpls Shooting Leaves 2 Dead

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Police in Minneapolis say a shooting Saturday night on the city's south side has now claimed the lives of two men.

Officials say the shooting happened just after 10:20 p.m. near the intersection of Franklin and Chicago avenues.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found two men with gunshot wounds.

Emergency crews took the victims to Hennepin County Medical Center, where one of the men died hours later.
