Overview
- Police responded to 911 reports of shots at a downtown high‑rise and entered the building within minutes on Wednesday, finding multiple victims and more gunfire on upper floors.
- Authorities say three people died, including the suspected shooter, and several others were wounded with seven patients taken to Hennepin County Medical Center.
- Two Minneapolis officers were struck by gunfire and a third officer suffered a separate injury; all three were reported in stable condition.
- Officers who followed sounds of gunfire encountered a dense haze that sharply reduced visibility on an upper floor and complicated the response.
- The FBI and ATF joined the investigation, and officials have not released a motive or confirmed how the suspect died as they continue interviews and evidence collection.
