Two men were killed and another injured when gunfire erupted at a convenience store in north Minneapolis on Sunday morning.
The incident capped a deadly spate of weekend violence in the Twin Cities that police are calling an aberration.
Minneapolis police officers were called to the 2600 block of Emerson Avenue N. at 9:44 a.m. on a report of a shooting, a police spokesman said. When officers arrived at the Emerson Food Market, one man was dead from an apparent gunshot wound.
Two other men were taken to North Memorial Medical Center with gunshot wounds, one in critical condition. He died at the hospital after undergoing surgery.
The third man suffered noncritical injuries.
In the hours after the shooting, dozens of people gathered at a nearby home to grieve the deaths of the men.
By Sunday afternoon, police had one man in custody in connection with the shooting.
Sunday's slayings bring the total to five homicides in the Twin Cities this weekend.
