This is a developing situation so details may change or be updated as new information is learned.

At least four people were shot in south Minneapolis late Monday night near East Franklin and Hiawatha avenues, near the Metro Transit Franklin LRT station.

Crime Watch posted just before 11:30 p.m. that police had called out to dispatch that they heard a volley of shots fired, according to police scanner audio.

Arriving officers quickly updated that at least four people had been shot and that CPR was being performed on one person. Police called for back-up due to an unruly crowd of about 20–30 people present.

Transit police had already been on site at the location involving an incident where a pedestrian had been pinned under the LRT at about 11 p.m., and they also called out to their dispatcher that shots had been fired.

According to further audio, one male was shot in the chest, a female was shot in the chest, one female was shot in the arm, and another male was shot in the foot. All were transported by EMS to the hospital.

The male who had been pinned under the LRT in a separate incident was transported to the hospital and was reportedly “vitally stable” at the time.
