Minneapolis Mass Shooting: 9 Hurt Outside Reign Nightclub
Police say 9 people were hurt after an altercation outside Reign nightclub, and investigators are checking whether shots came from a vehicle.
Early Sunday, a shooting outside Reign Event Center in Minneapolis' Uptown neighborhood left nine people injured. Police responded to the 2900 block of Hennepin Avenue shortly before 12:30 a.m. after a fight escalated into gunfire.
The nightclub was hosting a meet-and-greet with reality TV star Ivori Babu when violence erupted. Babu posted to Instagram, "They just shot my booking up with a switch," as police investigate potential drive-by shots.
Minneapolis Police Department officers found four wounded victims at the scene while five others sought hospital care. All nine victims, aged 18 to 27, are expected to survive, though two sustained life-threatening injuries.
Mayor Jacob Frey condemned the "senseless act of violence" in a statement following the shooting. Pastor Scott Gorman of Corner Church Uptown noted the shooting brings fear to the neighborhood.
The Firearm Assault Shoot Team leads the investigation with no arrests made as of Sunday. The 2900 block of Hennepin Avenue was the site of another mass shooting in June 2020 that injured 11 people.
