Minneapolis' homicide count climbs with two new killings

Police in Minneapolis are reporting two new shooting deaths, with the latest coming early Tuesday in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood east of downtown.

Two men showed up about 2:40 a.m. at nearby HCMC from the 400 block of S. 15th Avenue, where they were shot, police said.

Police say a group of people approached the two and started shooting. The wounded men got in a vehicle and drove to the hospital, where one of them died, police added.

The surviving victim was in serious condition, according to police.

The men's identities haven't been released.

Monday night, a man in his 30s died at North Memorial Health Hospital. Police say he was one of three people shot early Saturday outside the 4th Street Saloon on West Broadway. The other two showed up at North Memorial in a private vehicle and were being treated for noncritical gunshot wounds.

Officers went to the bar's parking lot and recovered more than 100 bullet casings, police said.

Tuesday morning's gun violence follows numerous shootings in the city from Sunday into Monday, with at least nine people hit by gunfire, one of whom died, police said.

In a fatal shooting Sunday, officers responded to a report of gunfire at a residence in the 2600 block of N. Logan Avenue about 3:50 p.m. and found a man who had been shot multiple times. The man hasn't been identified, and no arrests have been announced.
