Two people were gravely wounded in a double shooting Saturday afternoon at a home in southwest Minneapolis, police said.

Investigators believe the shooting, which occurred at 12:50 p.m. in the 4900 block of S. Lyndale Avenue, was related to a domestic dispute, said police spokesman John Elder. The two people were taken to a hospital with serious injuries, said Elder, who described their condition as "grave."

There is no threat to the public, he said.
