Three people have been charged in relation to a shootout in downtown Minneapolis early Saturday that injured two women, according to the Hennepin County attorney's office.

The women, who were in a third car that was not involved in the shooting, drove themselves to a hospital, where they were treated for minor gunshot wounds and released, authorities said.

Michael Rolack Jr., 33, of Minneapolis, was charged in Hennepin County District Court with second-degree assault, drive-by shooting, being a felon in possession of a firearm and theft. Tylynne L. Wilson, 31, of Minneapolis, was charged with theft, second-degree riot and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Loretha D. Peoples, 22, of Columbia Heights, was charged with second-degree riot.
