Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.At least 12 people were shot in Minneapolis, police said early on Sunday.
Minneapolis Police confirmed in a tweet that one person has died, and 11 others are alive with “no life-threatening wounds”.
In a previous tweet just before 3am, Minneapolis Police said there were 10 victims, who were all alive at local hospitals with “various severity levels of injuries”.
The public were advised to avoid the area in Uptown Minneapolis, in a commercial district near Landmark’s Uptown Theatre and a number of bars and restaurants.
Photographs from the aftermath of the scene posted on social media showed windows at the theatre and another shop shot out.
The area is about three miles west of the Minneapolis area hit by rioting in the wake of George Floyd’s death on 25 May, which sparked angry protests across the country.
It is unclear if anyone has been taken into custody and further details weren’t immediately available.
