Two dead, multiple injured in downtown Minneapolis shooting (Video)

Two people have been killed and eight others injured, including two police officers, after a shooting inside a high-rise apartment building in downtown Minneapolis on Wednesday (local time).

Police were called to 15 East Grant Street at about 4.36pm following an initial report of a person being shot. Further emergency calls soon followed, with witnesses reporting additional gunfire.

According to the City of Minneapolis, officers arrived within minutes and entered the building, where they found several victims and continued to hear shots.

Police traced the gunfire to an upper floor but encountered a heavy haze that severely restricted visibility. Three officers were injured during the response, including two who were struck by gunfire.



One officer sustained a gunshot wound to the leg that was not believed to be life-threatening, while a second officer required surgery. A third officer was assessed for an injury that authorities said did not appear to have been caused by gunfire and was also considered non-life-threatening.

Six other people with apparent gunshot wounds were transported to Hennepin Healthcare. One later died in hospital, while another victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities said the suspected shooter was also found dead. Officials have yet to disclose the circumstances of the gunman’s death or release details about the suspect’s identity or a possible motive.

The shooting prompted a major emergency operation near the Minneapolis Convention Center, with large numbers of police, ambulances and armoured vehicles deployed to the area. Authorities asked members of the public to stay away from a substantial section of the downtown district while the scene was secured and investigated.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said state authorities were assisting local law enforcement and thanked emergency personnel involved in the response.

  1. The Minneapolis welfare abuse fiasco involves a $250 million fraud scheme linked to the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, which falsely claimed to provide meals to children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Numerous individuals have been indicted and convicted for their roles in this extensive fraud, which exploited federal child nutrition programs.
    Total Indicted: 78 individuals
    Total Convicted: 57 individuals
    The scandal has raised concerns about the integrity of welfare programs in Minnesota, with reports indicating that fraud may extend beyond Feeding Our Future to other state-managed programs, including Medicaid. The state government is now under pressure to conduct audits and improve oversight to prevent future fraud.

    Self Defence
    February 4, 2025 Published by Kelvyn Alp

    New Zealand Loyal – The Right to Self-Defence

    We, the people of New Zealand, assert our fundamental right to defend ourselves, our families, businesses, and lands. This inherent right is not granted by the government, but rather, it is the government’s duty to protect and respect it.

    For too long, the government has overstepped its bounds, dictating how we can and cannot protect ourselves. This is a clear violation of our rights and freedoms. NZ Loyal is committed to restoring the balance of power, ensuring that individuals are responsible for their own lives, and that the government is responsible for protecting our rights.

    The Principles of Self-Defence

    1. Inherent Right: The right to self-defence is inherent and inalienable. It is not something that can be taken away by the government.

    2. Personal Responsibility: Individuals are responsible for their own lives and the protection of their loved ones.

    3. Government’s Role: The government’s role is to protect our rights, not to dictate how we exercise them.

    4. Crime and Victimhood: A crime is committed when a victim is created through harm. The government’s focus should be on protecting the rights of victims, not on disarming law-abiding citizens.

    Policy Objectives

    1. Repeal of Restrictive Firearms Legislation: NZ Loyal will repeal laws that unfairly restrict our right to self-defence.

    2. No Licensing Requirements: We will abolish licensing requirements for firearms, instead focusing on education and training leading to a certificate of competency.

    3. Protection of Property Rights: We will ensure that property owners have the right to defend their lands and businesses against trespass and harm.

    4. Accountability and Transparency: We will establish robust mechanisms for investigating and addressing complaints of government overreach and abuse of power.

    By restoring our right to self-defence, we can rebuild a safer, more responsible society, where individuals are empowered to protect themselves and their loved ones. Join us in our mission to reclaim our rights and freedoms.
