An overnight shooting in the downtown Minneapolis Warehouse District left one person dead and two others injured, including one critically, according to police.

One person has been arrested and officers recovered two guns, said Minneapolis Police Department spokesperson Garrett Parten.

Officers and first responders reported to the area in the 300 block of 1st Avenue N. around 1:30 a.m. Thursday in response to a fight that escalated into a gunfight. The dispute is believed to have involved fully automatic weapons.

Police did not release any information about the man who was found dead. A man in his 40s was taken to a hospital with potentially life-threatening gunshot wounds. A second man who had been shot multiple times also was taken to a hospital with injuries that were believed to be non-life-threatening, Parten said.

"What we have here is people settling their differences by pulling out guns," Parten told KSTP TV. "If not for guns, this would have ended differently."

Police remained on the scene and continued to investigate what is the city's 52nd homicide of the year, according to a Star Tribune database.

Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 800-222-8477.

The boy was taken to a hospital with non-critical injuries, police said.
