Two men were shot at a transit center on Lake Street in south Minneapolis on Friday morning and police are continuing to search for suspects.

Multiple shots were fired in the north tower of the transit center in the center of I-35W about 10:15 a.m., said Metro Transit spokesman Drew Kerr.

The station serves the Orange Line, the rapid bus line that runs from downtown Minneapolis to Burnsville.

The victims were taken to HCMC , where they were reported to be in stable condition, Kerr said.

Metro Transit police believe there were multiple shooters. They have not been located, Kerr said. Minneapolis police also responded to the scene.

Buses continue to serve customers at the freeway level and at Lake Street stops, Kerr said.
