On Wednesday morning, a shooter dressed in black with a rifle attacked a K-8 Catholic school in Minneapolis.
On Tuesday, just a 10-minute drive north from Annunciation School on Interstate 35W, another shooting took place with a semiautomatic rifle. The perp was not apprehended.
Adding a layer of complexity is the fact that the earlier shooting does not seem to have been targeting the high school directly.
Police say the shooting happened just before 1:30 p.m. near the intersection of 29th Street East and Clinton Avenue, directly behind Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in the city's Phillips neighborhood.
'I look down the street and I see somebody standing outside their car, with a big gun just shooting at the crowd,' the witness said. In the video, the sounds of gunfire can clearly be heard, with people fleeing the scene.
Near the intersection, law enforcement found a man dead from apparent gunshot wounds and another man with potentially life-threatening gunshot wounds.
About one or two blocks away from the shooting, on Lake Street, four injured men and one injured woman were found at various locations. Those five people were brought to the hospital and are expected to survive, according to Minneapolis police.
Crime was apparently so bad in Minneapolis on Tuesday afternoon and evening that police were stretched thin.
In less than 24 hours:
A mass shooting near a Catholic high school
A "fatal" around 8 p.m.
A "deadly shooting" downtown early in the morning
A mass shooting at a Catholic elementary school
Democrats, who essentially control the city and the state at large, have boasted about how Minneapolis crime is down from the mostly peaceful riots of 2020, even after they defunded their police department in the name of fighting racism.
A police force that's unable to properly respond due to high levels of violent crime on a random Tuesday night and Wednesday morning says otherwise.
