A 21-year-old man was killed and three other people were injured in a Tuesday night shooting inside a downtown Minneapolis bar.
Officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 400 block of Fourth Street South about 11:40 p.m. They found a man who’d been shot multiple times. Despite lifesaving efforts, he died at the scene, according to Minneapolis police.
Another man and two women were transported to Hennepin Healthcare with apparent non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
“An argument inside a crowded bar should never end in gunfire and a loss of life,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said in a statement of preliminary information indicating that a fight inside the bar escalated into a shooting.
No arrests had been made as of Wednesday morning.
The shooting came after other recent instances of multiple people killed or injured in shootings in Minneapolis.
There were 27 people shot and two children killed at Annunciation Catholic Church and School on Aug. 27. Police said the shooter died by suicide at the scene.
The day before, a man was killed and six people were injured in a shooting outside Cristo Rey Jesuit High School. A man has been charged.
On the morning of Sept. 15, five men were shot near Lake Street and Stevens Avenue and one of the men later died at the hospital. That night, seven people were injured by gunfire at an encampment near 28th Avenue and Lake Street and a woman died a few days later.
