In Minneapolis, a violent altercation resulted in multiple shootings over the course of two incidents within a single day. The first shooting occurred near the intersection of East Lake Street and Stevens Avenue around 11:10 a.m. on a Monday, where five men were injured. Among them, Adam John Peterson, aged 46, succumbed to his injuries, as confirmed by Police Chief Brian O'Hara. Investigators noted that the shootings may have stemmed from a quarrel that escalated into gunfire. Furthermore, authorities indicated that the scene of the shooting included a nearby walkway connected to a highway off-ramp, adding complexity to the investigation. Multiple shooters are believed to be involved, with no arrests made as the police continue to gather evidence and witness testimonies. Later that evening, another dangerous incident unfolded at a homeless encampment at the 2700 block of East Lake Street. This second shooting, which occurred shortly after 10 p.m., left seven people injured, including two with severe head injuries. At least one victim from this shooting has been confirmed deceased as well. Detectives from the Minneapolis police department are investigating potential connections between the two occurrences, suspecting that both incidents were motivated by underlying conflicts, with narcotics disputes being a key concern. The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in resolving these tragic events.
