At least six people have been shot in two separate shootings in the US state of Minnesota, police say.
The shootings occurred in Minneapolis early Monday. One of the injured was in critical condition after being shot in the chest.
Police officers were dispatched to the
4th Street between Hennepin Avenue and Nicollet on reports of a shooting
around 1:15 am local time, Minneapolis Police spokesman Corey Schmidt.
Upon arrival at the scene, they found
two men who had both sustained gunshot wounds to the leg but it was
clear if any of the injuries were lethal.
The second shooting occurred 15 minutes
later about a block away, Schmidt added. Police found four
victims—three men and one juvenile—at the scene.
Police were trying to find possible links between the two incidents as they happened within a block of each other.
Although no arrests were made in
relation to the first shooting, police said they had taken a man into
custody in connection with the second shooting.
Schmidt noted that all of the six victims were “uncooperative” with the investigation.
The shootings came only three days after
a deadly case of domestic shooting in Minneapolis, where three people
were shot dead and one was critically injured.
