TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Two people were killed and the suspect also died after a shooting at a downtown Minneapolis apartment building Wednesday afternoon, police said.
Three Minneapolis police officers were injured, Sgt. Garrett Parten said at a news conference Wednesday evening. Two officers suffered gunshot wounds. All three were in stable condition, according to a hospital spokesperson.
One victim was fatally shot at the scene, while the other died after being taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, Parten said.
Minneapolis police responded shortly after 4:30 p.m. local time (21:30 GMT) and urged the public to stay away from the area. Two police officers were among those wounded, officials said. Seven patients were taken to Hennepin Healthcare Medical Center, according to the hospital.
FBI also involved in response as motive unclear
The FBI is responding to the shooting and "will offer any and all resources necessary to assist local authorities," Director Kash Patel said in a post on the social platform X.
No further information was immediately available about the incident. The motive for the shooting is still unclear and information has not been released yet on the identity of the shooter.
Video posted on social media showed police officers aiming rifles toward an apartment tower near the Minneapolis Convention Center. Officials also warned residents to avoid the densely populated Loring Park neighborhood.
"Grateful to law enforcement actively working to ensure the safety of our neighbors in Downtown Minneapolis this afternoon,” Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said. “Minnesota is praying for our first responders.”
