Two men were shot in separate incidents in Minneapolis. Sgt. Bill Palmer said one incident occurred in the front yard of a home on the far north side.
The second shooting happened downtown at a Pizza Luce restaurant. Palmer said two men got in a fight, and one pulled a gun and shot the other. Police later found the gun in the parking lot. The man who was shot had non-life-threatening injuries.
Police had no suspects in custody in either of the shootings, Palmer said.
