A key figure in the Somali community said he suspects the Sunday night shooting was related to a fatal shooting early Sunday morning in Hopkins. But police couldn't verify his suspicion.
Police exchanged gunfire Sunday night with a suspect in south Minneapolis who shot and wounded a man who officers had just finished questioning.
At least three officers from Minneapolis and Metro Transit police fired several times at the suspect, who was arrested after a two-block chase, said Minneapolis police Sgt. William Palmer.
The suspect was not hit and none of the officers was wounded, Palmer said.
The shooting victim, who was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, suffered noncritical injuries.
The drama began as officers with the Metro Gang Strike Force had just finished questioning four men at E. 22nd Street and Chicago Avenue S., Palmer said. The four men were yards away from police officers when the suspect suddenly began shooting at the men from across the street on E. 22nd Street and Elliot Avenue S., near the Village Market Mall (Somali Super-Valu).

FYI.
OMG!!! Was he a RIGHTWINGER?? White supremacist veteran loon? Was he an anti-abortionist? Was he a Tea Partier? Do tell!
No. No. No....and.....no.
The suspect was not hit and none of the officers was wounded, Palmer said.
Pedantic grammar alert!
“none of the officers were wounded”
Where do these dopes go to school.
You are wrong. None (a contraction of not one) is the subject of the sentence. It is the same as ‘not one of the officers’. Therefore, ‘was’ is correct. Where did you go to school?
I believe it is a statement contrary to fact and therefore uses the subjunctive. Such as “If I were you.
Thoughts?
For those of us taught by the Nuns in the fifties there are some things that are hard-coded into our brains. Grammar is one of them.
Canadian Amish at it again...
