Custody exchange sparks deadly Minneapolis shooting
A custody exchange escalated into a deadly shooting at Shoreline Plaza in downtown Minneapolis: the gunman, Carlton Johnson II, shot the child’s mother and several others before dying in a police gunfight. Three people were killed (including two residents on the ninth floor) and six were injured, including two Minneapolis police officers. Investigators are reviewing surveillance video and Johnson’s eviction dispute and past threats, with the motive still under investigation and officials highlighting the role of domestic violence in such incidents.
