The Toll Continues To Rise

"Follow up on the overnight mass shooting and homicide we posted in downtown Minneapolis.
Late-night downtown shooting injures several, leaves one dead.
October 8, 2025 – Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara announced late Tuesday night that a man was killed, and three others were injured by gunfire inside a downtown bar.
On October 7, 2025, at approximately 11:40 p.m., First Precinct officers responded to the report of a shooting inside a bar on the 400 block of 4th Street South.
Officers encountered a large, unruly crowd involved in physical altercations. Additional squads were requested, and officers from the Second, Third, and Fifth Precincts, along with deputies from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, responded to assist.
Inside the bar, officers located a 21-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Officers provided immediate medical aid, but despite all lifesaving efforts, the man died at the scene.
Officers also located a second man with an apparent non-life-threatening gunshot wound and two women, both with apparent non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. All three were transported to Hennepin Healthcare for treatment.
Preliminary information indicates that an altercation inside the bar escalated to gunfire.
Minneapolis Police Forensic Scientists responded to collect evidence and process the scene. MPD investigators are leading the investigation.
One man was arrested and booked for Obstruction. There were no arrests related to the shooting.
“This senseless violence is heartbreaking and unacceptable,” said Chief O’Hara. “An argument inside a crowded bar should never end in gunfire and a loss of life. Our investigators are working to identify everyone involved and hold those responsible accountable. Anyone who knows the identity of the person who pulled the trigger is urged to contact police.”
Case number: 25-290687"
 
 
 
 
One more night in MPLS, one more mass shooting.   Yet the citizens of MPLS will continue to reelect the same old, same old, who promise much and produce little.

Just like Chicago

From Glenn. I believe he posted in the wrong place. Despite that, his sentiment is not wrong.

I was just going to post here after I deleted the other one. Old age is my excuse.

Craig said...

No problem, it was kind of obvious.

Marshal Art said...

That Glenn is old?

Craig said...

I was talking about it being obvious that it belonged elsewhere. Yet it is also obvious that Glenn is older than I am. But I respect my elders.

Glenn E. Chatfield said...

HAHAH. Seven years to 80!

Marshal Art said...

He's freakin' ancient! He's got like three years on me!

Craig said...

Clearly y'all are both ancient.

Marshal Art said...

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Craig said...

If the shoe fits...

AND I've been married to another "old" person (at 69) for 49 years!

Craig said...

Not sure who this is, likely Glenn, but I absolutely respect my elders.

Glenn E. Chatfield said...

Darn!! I missed that it was sitting an "Anonymous." Yep, that's me.

Marshal Art said...

Well, you're old, so...
