Police: 4 people wounded by gunfire after drive-by shooting in North Loop
Two males and two females wounded by gunfire just after midnight Sunday will survive, according to a report from the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD).
Police say they responded at about 12:11 a.m. to reports of a shooting in the 400 block of North 3rd Avenue.
Investigators believe the four people were shot outside of a music venue and that the shots were fired from a vehicle.
“We could hear the commotion and stuff outside and just rapid fire,” Alex Avery, apartment resident, said.
Avery had to make sense of a drive-by shooting right outside his apartment in North Loop.
People who were in the area when the shooting happened told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS there was an incident in a nearby parking garage that spiraled into a drive-by shooting.
The witnesses explained they saw police picking up shell casings from the parking garage to the end of the block.
“It’s disturbing. It’s been a weird day today,” Carinda Larson, apartment resident, said. “I do have a big feeling of anxiety today.”
Larson came home from work last night to a crime scene. Her boyfriend was outside the apartment building when the shooting happened.
“He said he heard a bunch of noises and a bunch of chaos and didn’t realize what was going on right away until he saw people running, ducking and hiding,” Larson said. “He pulled behind a dumpster in the back. That’s very scary.”
Neighbors said a drive-by shooting is shocking for North Loop and they’re hoping those responsible are held accountable.
MPD said there have been no arrests, and the shooting is still being investigated.
