One man died and 11 other people were injured in a shooting early Sunday along Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis' Uptown neighborhood.
Minneapolis police reported they received 911 calls at 12:37 a.m. reporting several people shot on the 2900 block of Hennepin Avenue South, just north of Lake Street. It’s the commercial center of the Uptown neighborhood, lined with bars, restaurants and retailers.
"Preliminary investigation reveals that individuals on foot started shooting in the mid-2900 block of Hennepin Avenue South and proceeded north. People scattered and suspects fled," police said in a news release issued shortly after 4 a.m.
The victims were transported to hospitals by ambulance and private vehicle. All are adults. The name of the man who died has not yet been released.
There were no suspects in custody of 4 a.m. Sunday. Further details on the circumstances of the shooting weren't immediately available.
“We are in the infancy of this investigation, so at this point, we don’t know what truly led up to this shooting,” Minneapolis police spokesperson John Elder told MPR News.
Elder said five detectives are investigating the incident, interviewing witnesses and gathering any surveillance video that may have captured the shooting.
Photographs posted to social media showed windows at the Landmark Uptown Theatre and another storefront shot out.
Screams were audible on a live video posted to Facebook that showed the aftermath at the scene. Small crowds of people gathered, with some crouched over victims lying on the pavement before police officers on bicycles showed up to attend to them.
There has been a rash of gun violence in Minneapolis in recent days. Police said at least seven other people were wounded by gunfire in the city in five incidents from Saturday afternoon through early Sunday morning.
