Around 9:15 p.m., officers responded to Gold Medal Park in downtown. They found a man who was apparently shot during a carjacking. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Just before midnight in Uptown, a man and woman were shot on the 1400 block of Lake Street West, near Hennepin Avenue. Police said both victims are expected to survive.

Around 2 a.m. in downtown, police heard several gunshots near Seventh Street and First Avenue South. They found a man and woman with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Shortly after, they found another gunshot victim. That man was rushed to a hospital in critical condition. Police arrested two men in their 20s and recovered two guns.

About an hour later, officers responded to the 2400 block of 10th Avenue South, where they found two crashed vehicles with no drivers. Two men with gunshot wounds were found nearby. Both are expected to survive.

In two other shootings early Saturday morning, victims showed up at area hospitals of their own accord.
