In addition to recent shootings inside the “CHOP” zone in Seattle, numerous random shootings took place this weekend in Minneapolis, Austin, and Syracuse. No one is in custody. Where police presence is lacking, criminals move in. Is Prince William County next?
Here’s the roundup….
One man is dead and 11 people suffered non-life-threatening wounds in a shooting in Minneapolis, police there said early Sunday.
Minneapolis police had first said 10 people had been shot with “various severity levels of injuries,” but revised their total in a tweet posted just after 3 a.m. No one was in custody in connection with the shooting as of 4 a.m., according to a police release that said preliminary investigation indicated that “individuals on foot” started shooting around 12:30 a.m. and later fled the scene.
