At least two killed and multiple injured, including two cops, after gunman opens fire at Minneapolis apartment building | 2 Sep 2026 | At least two civilians were killed and four others were injured, including two police officers, when a gunman opened fire at a downtown Minneapolis apartment building. Minneapolis police received a call at 4.36pm on Wednesday that one person had been shot at Loring Towers, an affordable housing community, Minneapolis Police spokesman Sgt. Garrett Parten said at a news conference. Soon, other calls came in reporting additional gunfire. When police then arrived at the scene at 4.39pm, they found one victim dead and several others suffering from gunshot wounds. Police then followed the sound of gunfire to an upper floor, where they were confronted by a “haze” that limited their visibility. Still, officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect, leaving two officers shot, while a third sustained a non-life threatening injury. In total, seven patients were rushed to Hennepin County Medical Center, one of whom was later pronounced dead, spokesman Jonathan Comito said.
