Two people were killed and one was seriously wounded after a shooting near E. Franklin Avenue in the Seward neighborhood in south Minneapolis Sunday night, police spokesman John Elder said.

Officers responded to a report of shots fired at 7:45 p.m. near the Franklin Housing Cooperative apartments at E. Franklin and 23rd Avenue S.

When police arrived they found a passenger car with three people inside. Two were dead; a third person with serious but noncritical injuries was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, Elder said.

"The suspects fled on foot," Elder said. Investigators were canvassing the scene, he said.
