Mpls. Police: Party Bus Involved In 1 Of 2 Early Morning Downtown Shooting

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Two men were shot in downtown Minneapolis early Saturday morning in two different locations, but police have not confirmed if they're connected.

The first shooting happened at about 1:20 a.m. at 7th Street and Hennepin Avenue near the First Avenue music venue. The second shooting happened about a mile north on the 500 block of North 1st Street.

Investigators say both victims were taken by ambulance to Hennepin Heathcare, where both were treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Police say officers spoke to several witnesses, and soon after a party bus -- driven by a juvenile -- was stopped near Lee's Liquor Lounge at North 12 Street and Glenwood Avenue. Guns were recovered from the bus, and the juvenile was arrested.

These cases are still under investigation.
