Garrett Parten said at a news conference. All three officers were in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police received a 911 call reporting gunfire shortly after 4:30 p.m. Officers arrived at the apartment building and entered it less than two minutes after being dispatched, Interim Police Chief Bill Peterson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officers quickly found victims inside the building before hearing additional gunshots from a higher floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peterson said officers moved toward the source of the gunfire and encountered a haze that significantly reduced visibility. He did not provide further details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One officer was shot in the leg, while another was shot twice in the abdomen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One victim died at the scene and another died after being taken to hospital. Authorities said it was not immediately clear how the suspected shooter died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police did not release the suspect&#8217;s identity but said authorities were familiar with the person before the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m truly sickened by this level of violence,\u201d Peterson said, praising officers who responded to what he described as an extraordinarily dangerous situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Residents said they heard multiple rounds of gunfire and fled the building. One resident, Julius Bailey, said he saw a man carrying a pistol and heard a woman screaming before running to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities urged people to avoid the densely populated Loring Park neighborhood near the Minneapolis Convention Center as police responded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said state officials were assisting local law enforcement, while FBI Director Kash Patel said the agency would provide resources to support the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Jwan Shekaki<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Three people, including the suspected shooter, were killed and five others wounded in a shooting at a downtown Minneapolis apartment building on Wednesday, authorities said.
