Two people were shot Friday night and one person was arrested following a Wayzata High School graduation ceremony held on the University of Minnesota campus, police said.
University authorities notified students that the 8:20 p.m. shooting occurred outside 3M Arena at Mariucci following the ceremony. University of Minnesota police responded and two people were taken by ambulance to Hennepin County Medical Center.
Their condition was unknown Saturday morning.
Gov. Tim Walz expressed his thoughts on X.
“Horrific news of a shooting near Mariucci Arena during a graduation event tonight – a time of celebration that should never have turned into one of fear and sadness,” he wrote.
The suspect in the shooting is in custody and authorities say they don’t believe there is any ongoing threat to the public. The investigation by university police, Minneapolis police and the Hennepin County sheriff’s office is continuing.
