Officers with the U and Minneapolis police heard gunfire around 2:15 a.m., according to Minneapolis police Sgt. Garrett Parten. They rushed to 4th Street and 13th Avenue SE., where they found a 22-year-old man with “at least one” potentially life-threatening gunshot wound.
Officers helped the man until he was transported to HCMC in downtown Minneapolis. Within an hour two more males, ages 18 and 17, were taken to HCMC with noncritical gunshot wounds.
Parten said none of the people wounded were students. He had no update Saturday on their conditions.
Investigators believe the gunfire came moments after a fight involving several people at the Dinkytown intersection. No arrests had been announced as of Saturday afternoon.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Thursday vetoed an ordinance creating a labor standards board, but the council may have enough votes to override him.
