One killed, four hurt in Minneapolis' second mass shooting on Sunday

One man was killed and four others were hurt in the second mass shooting in Minneapolis in less than 24 hours, police said.

According to the Minneapolis Police Department, "gunfire erupted outside a business in the 1800 block of Nicollet Avenue" around 8:20 p.m. Sunday. 

Responding officers found four men shot at the scene, ages 43, 24, 28 and 36. All four were taken to the hospital, where the 28-year-old later died. The 43-year-old and 24-year-old had potentially life-threatening wounds, police said.

A fifth man, a 26-year-old, later showed up at Hennepin Healthcare on his own with a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening, according to police.

Around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, nine people were shot outside a nightclub in Minneapolis' Uptown neighborhood. Two were seriously injured, but are expected to survive, according to police. No arrests have been made.

Police are investigating both shootings, but said there is no known connection between the two.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the Uptown shooting "intolerable."

"This is a stark reminder that keeping our streets safe requires every tool available," Frey said. "We need partnerships where the perpetrators of these acts are arrested and prosecuted, we need to continue hiring more police officers to both investigate and prevent gun crimes, and we must embrace proven technologies from drones to ShotSpotter that allow our police to do their jobs with greater efficiency."
