Minneapolis experienced another shooting with at least three victims this week, with the latest incident occurring late Wednesday downtown on or near Nicollet Mall, officials reported.
The first of the three shootings took place Sunday night when three people were shot, one fatally, in the 2500 block of Central Avenue NE., just north of Lowry Avenue, according to police. Christopher D. Thurmond, 32, of Maplewood, was identified as the deceased.
On Monday night, gunfire resulted in a woman’s death and left five people wounded on Franklin Avenue between 16th and 17th Avenues S., police said. Authorities recovered a gun at the scene, but the only arrest so far was of a man who was obstructing law enforcement. The woman’s identity has not yet been released.
