Minneapolis police have said over a dozen people have been hurt in two separate shootings at homeless encampments across the city on the same day.
The first shooting at a transit station wounded five people, and happened in an area that had seen two prior shootings in the past month.
Minneapolis police chief Brian O’Hara rued the shootings as disturbingly commonplace.
“Here we are yet again in the aftermath of a mass shooting. This is not normal,” O’Hara said.
The second shooting, which wounded eight, happened just two miles away, in a site that has been a topic of controversy in the Minneapolis area. Private landlord Hamoudi Sabri, who has been involved in homeless activism since 2021, has allowed the encampment on his property because he does not believe the city is addressing the root causes of homelessness.
