US EditionMore than a Dozen Injured in Minneapolis Shootings at Homeless Camp and Near Transit Station
Four of the eight injured in a targeted shooting at a Minneapolis homeless camp suffered life-threatening wounds amid ongoing disputes over encampment safety and closure efforts.
- Minneapolis police investigated two mass shootings on Monday injuring 13 people, with the latest shooting hitting eight at a homeless encampment on East Lake Street and 28th Avenue.
- The shootings occurred less than 12 hours apart amid a lengthy dispute between the city and property owner Hamoudi Sabri, who maintains the encampment open on his private lot despite city objections.
- Four victims from the latest shooting suffered life-threatening injuries, and investigators found mixed evidence including multiple shell casings and debris, while some tents caught fire after the shooting.
- Mayor Jacob Frey stated that once the investigation at the site is complete, the authorities will proceed with closing the encampment. Meanwhile, Sabri argued that removing the encampment only hides the issue rather than solving it, making the danger less apparent but not less severe.
- City officials filed a lawsuit against Sabri on September 11 for refusing to clear the encampment, and no arrests have been made in connection with either shooting as police continue their investigations.
