Mpls officials discuss homeless encampment shooting
A day after a mass shooting at a homeless encampment along Lake Street in south Minneapolis, officials including Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Brian O'Hara discuss actions the city will take to close the property where it currently resides.
It’s unclear what led to the gunfire, but police believe it was a shootout between at least two people regarding a narcotics dispute.
Officers recovered multiple shell casings at the scene, but police are uncertain if all the casings have been discovered given the debris inside the encampment. Some of the tents in the encampment started on fire after the shooting, and firefighters were called in to put out the flames.
The shooting accelerated city efforts to clear the camp.
However, a Hennepin County judge decided to hold off on issuing an order to clear the camp after the property owner promised not to reopen it.
What we don't know:
Police have not released any details on a possible suspect or suspects in the shooting.
Investigators say they are still working to determine if the shooting is related to another mass shooting on Lake Street that injured five people less than 12 hours before.
