ORIGINAL POST: Minneapolis police are investigating a shooting outside New Salem Missionary Baptist Church on the city's North Side after a crowded funeral around midday Friday.

The shooting began around midday on Friday outside the church, at 2507 Bryant Av. North, several blocks west of Farview Park, witnesses said. Witnesses described funeral-goers scurrying for cover as gunshots rang out outside the church.

It was not immediately clear how many shots were fired or whether anyone was hurt. A police spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday afternoon.

In a Facebook post, Rev. Jerry McAfee, the former head of the Minneapolis NAACP chapter, described a hail of gunfire:

More gunfire erupted several hours later at Elks Lodge 106 on the 1600 block of Plymouth Avenue., according to witnesses.

The shootings were the latest in a recent surge of violence in north Minneapolis.

One man was killed in an early-morning shooting last week in the Jordan neighborhood last week left three people injured. Police haven't announced any arrests in that slaying.
