Two separate shootings rocked homeless encampments in Minneapolis on September 16, 2025, leaving 13 people wounded — including 5 in critical condition.
First shooting: Just after 11 a.m. near East Lake St. & Stevens Ave. (5 injured, 1 life-threatening).
Second shooting: Around 10 p.m. at a well-known encampment near South 28th Ave. & East Lake St. (8 injured, 2 with head wounds).
Police recovered multiple shell casings, and investigators believe there may have been an exchange of gunfire. A tent fire also broke out during the incident.
The city has been trying to clear the encampment for months, raising concerns about safety and housing insecurity. Officials are investigating whether the two shootings are connected.
