A Sunday night shooting in Minneapolis' Stevens Square left one man dead and four others injured; four were hospitalized and one man later arrived at Hennepin Healthcare with a gunshot wound. No arrests have been made, and investigators are still determining the circumstances leading up to the incident, which marks the city's second mass shooting in under 24 hours. This is a developing story.
At least six people were killed and dozens injured in a series of weekend shootings across the US, including suburban Chicago, Washington state, central Pennsylvania, St. Louis, Southern California, and Baltimore. The shootings follow a surge in homicides and other violence over the past several years that experts say accelerated during the coronavirus pandemic. None of the weekend events fit the definition of a mass killing, but the number of injured in most of the cases matches the widely accepted definition for mass shootings.
