Suspect in Deadly Downtown Minneapolis Shooting Was Evicted for Threatening Other Residents with Gun
Police said the suspect died of a self-inflicted gunshot after officers responded to a 911 call and found three people dead and four wounded.
- A mass shooting at the Shoreline Plaza apartment complex in Minneapolis on Wednesday left three people dead, including 35-year-old suspect Carlton Neal Johnson II, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
- Court records reveal management was evicting Johnson from his 9th-floor unit after he assaulted a resident, openly displayed a firearm, and threatened residents, with a hearing scheduled for September 11.
- Four Minneapolis police officers experienced adverse effects after encountering an unknown airborne substance inside the building, while two additional officers were injured in a separate squad car crash during the response.
- The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is leading the investigation with FBI assistance, though officials have yet to identify the airborne substance or release official exposure results for residents.
- Residents who were inside the building should contact a clinician if they develop respiratory symptoms, as medical experts warn delayed lung injury can appear well after the initial exposure.
