Four people were injured Saturday night when several shots were fired at a gathering near the Stone Arch Bridge across the river from downtown Minneapolis, police said.
A Minneapolis police spokesperson said officers arrived around 11 p.m. to a chaotic scene near Main Street and 6th Avenue SE., with fights breaking out within a large group. They said the gathering was not a scheduled or official event.
Police described the injuries to four people who had apparent gunshot wounds. A man in his 30s was shot in the head in a potentially life threatening injury. An 18-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man suffered wounds that were not life threatening. The three were taken to the hospital. A 17-year-old girl with apparent wounds that were not life threatening arrived at North Memorial Health Hospital by private transport.
The police spokesperson said no arrests have been made.
