3 arrested in shootings at Minneapolis protest

Neither man was identified.

Police tweeted early Tuesday that officers are searching for three white male suspects in the shooting that occurred shortly before 11 p.m. about a block from the 4th Precinct.

Habu said a crowd gathered around the shooting scene and police used a chemical irritant to push them back. “If we can get through this, we can get through anything”, protester Jie Wronski-Riley told the Twin Cities Pioneer Press.

Earlier, police said they had arrested two other men: a 23-year-old white male and a 32-year-old Hispanic male. One of these showed a white man with a gun who said was going to the protests.

Police confirmed on Twitter that “5 people shot near 4th PCT, transported to hospital w/ non-life threatening injuries”. And they well could have been, I’m not trying to say they weren’t white supremacists. A protester who gave his name as Big Don Carlito said demonstrations no longer have anything to do with the Clark family.

The masked men were approached by demonstrators who questioned why they were there and asked them to remove their masks. She says Minneapolis protesters will stay “even if it takes 400 days”.

Minneapolis Police Department spokesman John Elder said officers responded to the Monday night shooting and that dozens of officers assisted victims and secured the scene.

Police have released little information on a possible suspect or suspects and are asking anyone with information to come forward.

Police brutality in the United States has raised nationwide debates amid a string of police killings of unarmed black men that led to the creation of the Black Lives Matter movement.

“SECOND TIME IN TWO NIGHTS PROTESTORS HAVE BEEN SHOT AT”, one person tweeted. “They had ski masks on, hats on, and gloves and he was in all black and one of them had a tool box”. Three men are in custody in connection with the shootings.

After Clark was killed on November 15, police said that he was the suspect in an assault and interfered when paramedics tried to treat the assault victim. When officers arrived, the police said, he fought with them, leading to the gunfire. The paper also reported that officials are considered whether to investigate the shooting as a hate crime. The fatal shooting of Jamar Clark, an unarmed black man by a Minneapolis police officer, has pushed racial tensions in the city’s small but concentrated minority community to the fore, with the police precinct besieged by the makeshift encampment and many protesters. The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said it has video from the ambulance, a mobile police camera and other sources, but none of the footage shows the event in its entirety.

“Do you know if the BLM n*****s are planning to protest again tomorrow, and if so, at what time?” one white supremacist asked in an email chain. “I really understood the danger we were in and what had happened”. “I share numerous emotions that people are feeling in Minneapolis today”.

“The Minneapolis Urban League joins the family’s appeal for “a day of peace and mourning for Jamar Clark”, a statement from the Urban League said”.
