On Monday, at around 10 p.m., an officer working off-duty at a Target store near 28th Avenue South and East Lake Street was approached by people running into the store, reporting gunfire.

The officer left the store and heard gunfire coming from the area of an encampment nearby.

Officials say that seven people in total were shot:

Three women and one man were brought to Hennepin Healthcare

One man walked into Children’s Hospital and was later brought to Hennepin Healthcare

One woman walked into Abbott Northwestern Hospital

One man later arrived at Regions Hospital

Law enforcement says that a man was arrested on Thursday for potential aiding and abetting after the fact, but has since been released.

Investigators are continuing to work on what led up to the shooting. Anyone with information should email policetips@minneapolismn.gov or call 612-673-5845.

Minneapolis police note that it is unknown if this shooting is related to the one that injured five people near Lake Street and Stevens Avenue earlier on Monday.
