One person was killed and six more were injured when a gunman sprayed dozens of rounds at a group standing on a sidewalk across from a high school in Minneapolis on Aug. 26, authorities said.
Officers responded to calls about shots fired just before 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 26 and found one man dead on the sidewalk, and five men and one woman who were injured. Investigators determined that a lone gunman stepped out of a vehicle near the intersection of Clinton Avenue and East 29th Street and fired about 30 rounds at people who were standing on a sidewalk before leaving in the vehicle.
Three of the injured had critical, life-threatening injuries, Minneapolis Police Department Chief Brian O’Hara said.
“This level of firepower unleashed in broad daylight is completely sickening and unacceptable,” O'Hara told reporters.
A suspect was not identified and no arrests had been made, according to a news release. Police did not provide updates to the case when reached by USA TODAY on Aug. 27.
