One person was shot in the Dinkytown neighborhood of Minneapolis early Tuesday morning, authorities said.

The shooting happened near 15th Avenue and Fourth Street Southeast, according to an alert from the University of Minnesota Department of Public Safety. The initial alert was sent around 1:50 a.m.

According to Minneapolis police, preliminary information indicates that there was a large group of people gathered in the area. One man suffered a life-threatening gunshot wound and was taken to the hospital before officers arrived at the scene.

The U said it has no suspect information.

A witness told WCCO that a group of 20 to 30 people were gathered in a parking lot.

The incident has neighbors and some students raising concerns about safety near campus.

"A big problem for me is like the response time. 'Cause it's like, we're near a college campus so it's like, if there's any sort of like, commotion, you should try to," said Colin Eschenbacher. "Come when people call, I guess, is my message to the police."

Police are investigating. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call 911.
