Recent Mass Shootings in Minneapolis Leave Over a Dozen Injured, Raising Concerns About Homeless Encampments
Minneapolis has witnessed a surge in gun violence, with more than a dozen individuals injured in two mass shootings that occurred at homeless encampments within 12 hours. The incidents have sparked outrage and calls for action from city leaders, as community members push for the closure of these encampments, citing violence, drug use, and unsanitary conditions as major concerns. In response to the recent shootings, the city has begun clearing out encampments hosted by landlords. Mayor Frey has vowed to prevent these encampments from reopening while emphasizing the need for urgent solutions to address the growing safety and homelessness issues in the city. With four mass shootings reported in just three weeks, Minneapolis remains on edge as authorities investigate and respond to these troubling events.
