For the second time in less than 24 hours, Minneapolis has been shaken by a mass shooting. Police say five people were wounded in a Sunday incident that added to a troubling run of multi‑victim shootings and left both residents and city leaders on edge. Investigators stayed at the scene overnight, and as of early reports, officials had released few details about the victims' conditions or any possible suspects.
What police say
Police told reporters that five people were hurt, marking the second mass shooting in the city in under a day, according to CBS News Minnesota. The outlet reported that information remained preliminary while investigators continued to process the scene and search for witnesses who might help piece together what happened.
Last year's church attack still looms
The latest violence lands in a city that is still dealing with the aftermath of several high‑profile mass incidents. Among them is the Aug. 27, 2025 shooting at Annunciation Catholic School that killed two children and wounded many others, as reported by AP News. That tragedy drew national attention, sparked community vigils and fueled policy debates that continue to shape how Minneapolis confronts gun violence.
Police response and resources
City leaders have tried to respond by directing more investigative muscle toward nonfatal, multi‑victim shootings. Earlier this year the Minneapolis Police Department launched the Firearm Assault Shoot Team, or FAST, to prioritize those cases, according to reporting by the Minneapolis Spokesman‑Recorder. The unit is intended to get detectives on scene more quickly and improve clearance rates for survivors of gun violence.
What happens next
The investigation into Sunday's shooting remains active, with detectives working through evidence and following up on leads. Officials are expected to release more information as they verify details. This story will be updated as new information becomes available from authorities.
