In a troubling series of events, Minneapolis has witnessed two mass shootings within a 12-hour span, resulting in at least 13 people injured. The first incident occurred at a homeless encampment in the Longfellow neighborhood, where eight individuals were shot, prompting city officials to pledge action. Just hours later, another shooting near the Lake Street transit station left five more people wounded. These incidents have raised concerns about public safety in the area, particularly near the controversial encampment and transit locations. Law enforcement has increased their presence and is actively investigating these violent occurrences.
