Minneapolis shootings kill 1, injure 11.
While these types of stories are routine now most weekends in some neighborhoods of Chicago, they are rare in Minneapolis, on Hennepin. (!) It's not a shooting either; it's "shootingS". Witnesses say the parties were firing at each other, before they opened fire into the Korean restaurant. #PrayersUp.
The suspects fled and no one has been taken into custody, the police said.
A video posted to Facebook Live of the aftermath showed people tending to the wounded in front of Hoban Korean BBQ on Hennepin Avenue, a bustling block of bars and restaurants in the city’s Uptown neighborhood.
Fred Hwang, the restaurant’s manager, said shots were fired at people lined up outside the restaurant. There were so many shots, “no one can count,” Mr. Hwang said.
The police said they received calls at 12:37 a.m. with reports of multiple people shot.People crowded into the restaurant for safety, but shots were soon fired into the restaurant, Mr. Hwang said. He said he found three different types of shells after the shooting.
The shooting happened near the site of protests over the death of George Floyd in the custody of the Minneapolis police. People had been shooting fireworks from their cars in the streets outside the restaurant, Mr. Hwang said, adding that Hennepin Avenue had been closed to traffic and turned into an impromptu block party this weekend.
