According to authorities, seven total people sustained injuries related to the shooting. Two victims were pronounced dead at the scene, while a third died after being transported to a medical facility.

Interim Police Chief Bill Peterson reported that officers encountered a haze that limited visibility as they pursued the sound of gunfire to an upper floor. One officer suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the leg, while another underwent surgery for two gunshot wounds to the abdomen. All three injured officers are expected to recover.78
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey praised the officers' response, stating, “I can’t emphasize enough how dangerous this situation was and how heroic our officers were in their response.” The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not disclosed details about the suspect or a potential motive. Residents of the apartment complex have been displaced as the situation unfolds.10
Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots, with one resident, Julius Bailey, stating he counted eight shots and recognized the shooter as a resident known for displaying a firearm. Another resident, Chris Miller, mentioned encountering someone with a handgun earlier in the week and had reported it to management.
“Mayor Jacob Frey praised officers as heroic, confirming one was shot in the leg and another twice in the abdomen. Interim Chief Bill Peterson said the suspect was known to police, and early court filings suggest the shooter faced eviction over gun flashing and threats to "kill someone."”
