One officer was shot in the stomach and was in surgery, while the second officer was shot in the leg and had non-life-threatening injuries. A high-ranking official told WCCO that the two officers were likely to recover. Multiple law enforcement sources further told the outlet that the gunman died by suicide at the scene, though that information has not been confirmed as of this report.
No official identification of the deceased person, the injured civilians, or the shooter had been released as of late afternoon. Conditions of the remaining injured were not immediately detailed by authorities.
“The Minneapolis Police Department is on the scene of a shooting in the area of 15 E Grant St. involving multiple victims, including two police officers. Please avoid the area. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available,” the City of Minneapolis said in a statement.
“Grateful to law enforcement actively working to ensure the safety of our neighbors in Downtown Minneapolis this afternoon. Minnesota is praying for our first responders,” Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said in a statement of his own.
Several state and local law enforcement agencies responded to the scene, as well as federal agents with the FBI and ATF. FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau would “offer any and all resources necessary to assist local authorities.”
