Warnings, court orders, and a gun: the Minneapolis shooter’s documented history

In Minneapolis, Carlton Neal Johnson II opened fire at Shoreline Plaza, killing two and wounding five, after a history that included domestic-related cases, allegations of threats, and a court order barring firearm possession. NBC notes that Johnson’s convictions did not automatically disqualify him from carrying a gun, and that authorities had other avenues to restrict firearm access, underscoring gaps in how warnings and past conduct translate into gun restrictions.
