MINNEAPOLIS — At least one person is hospitalized with serious injuries following a shooting that took place across from a sold-out music venue in the Minneapolis Warehouse District Sunday night.
Squads were dispatched to the 300 block of 1st Ave. N shortly before 9:30 p.m. on reports of gunfire. Police confirm that once officers arrived on scene they located a victim who had been shot. That person was transported to Hennipen County Medical Center with injuries described as "potentially life-threatening."
The shooting happened right across the street from the Fine Line Music Cafe, which was packed with patrons taking in a show by Maya Hawke from the hit Netflix show "Stranger Things." KARE 11 photographer David Peterlinz reports that at least a dozen markers were placed on the ground where shell casings were found.
"There were six shots in quick succession," the mother of a showgoer told Peterlinz via Twitter. "The show at the Fine Line had just let out about 10 minutes earlier, so the sidewalks were full of moms and daughters (like me and my kiddo) and teen girls. It was really sad, but glad to read the victim wasn't killed."
The busy downtown thoroughfare was closed for a number of hours as investigators processed the scene. It was reopened to traffic by the time Sunrise aired Monday morning.
Minneapolis police say no arrests have been made in the incident.
This is a developing story. We will share details on this incident as they become available.
