1 dead, 5 injured in Seward neighborhood shooting

Minneapolis police say they’re investigating a shooting that left one person dead and five others injured in a shooting on the city’s south side.

According to police, offices were called to Franklin Avenue South between 16th and 17th avenues south around 11:30 p.m. Monday for a report of a shooting.

When officers arrived, they found six people injured by gunfire. Multiple squads were brought in to help with what police said was an unruly crowd made of at least 20 people.

One of the victims, identified by police as a woman, died at Hennepin Healthcare. She is expected to be identified at a later time.

Police add a man with potentially life-threatening injuries, as well as two men and two women – all four with apparent non-life-threatening injuries – were taken to the hospital.

Although police are still working to figure out what led up to the shooting, officers say a gun was recovered and the shooting happened near a small encampment.

So far, Minneapolis police say one man has been arrested for obstruction and unrelated warrants. No word on if that man is also in custody for pulling the trigger.
