One man died and another was injured in a shooting early Saturday on the northwest edge of downtown Minneapolis — one of three overnight shootings in the city.
Minneapolis police said the fatal shooting happened at about 3:20 a.m. on the 1000 block of West Lyndale Avenue North — near the intersection of Interstate 94, Highway 55 and Lyndale Avenue.
Officers found a man with a gunshot wound; they initiated lifesaving efforts but he died at the scene.
A short time later, staff members at North Memorial Medical Center reported that a man was being treated there for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Police said they believe it's related to the Lyndale Avenue shooting.
