One killed, 11 wounded in Minneapolis shooting
WASHINGTON, June 21, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – One person died and 11 more
were wounded in a shooting in the US city of Minneapolis, police said
Sunday.
Images streamed live to Facebook showed at least one person lying
on the pavement as dozens gather around — some screaming for medical
help.
Other footage appeared to show businesses with shattered windows,
and police cars at the scene.
“12 people have suffered gunshot wounds,” Minneapolis police wrote
on Twitter, “1 adult male died and 11 have no -life-threatening
wounds.”
They did not give the age of the man who died or say whether anyone
was arrested.
Minneapolis has been a center of anti-racism and police brutality
protests that have spread across the US since George Floyd, a black
man, died while being restrained by a white officer.
