The Gunman in a Deadly Minneapolis Shooting Had Left a Long Trail of Warning Signs
Police said Johnson had threatened neighbors and planned to shoot people after eviction efforts and domestic-violence complaints.
- Late Wednesday, Carlton Johnson killed two neighbors and injured five others—including two police officers—in a Minneapolis apartment building before officers fatally shot him.
- Facing eviction, Johnson repeatedly threatened to shoot building managers and displayed his pistol to residents in the days before the attack, according to witnesses and court documents.
- Police neutralized Johnson just 2 minutes and 26 seconds after the first 911 call. Authorities had investigated Johnson in June for displaying a weapon but declined to file charges, citing insufficient evidence.
- Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans stated the incident was rooted in domestic violence. The number of injured victims remaining hospitalized Thursday afternoon remained unclear.
- Interim Police Chief Bill Peterson defended the department's handling of Johnson's record, citing the "large volume of cases" that limits investigative resources and forces prioritization decisions.
