Triple shooting at Chicago–Franklin kills man, wounds two

Minneapolis police say three men were shot on a sidewalk near Chicago Avenue and East Franklin Avenue around 12:30 a.m. Friday, leaving one dead at the scene and two others hospitalized. Officers responding to reports of gunfire found all three victims with gunshot wounds and began lifesaving aid before paramedics took a man in his 40s and another in his 50s to Hennepin Healthcare; police have not released the identity of the man who died. Investigators say preliminary information indicates the victims were standing on the sidewalk when at least one shooter opened fire and then fled in a vehicle. No arrests have been made, and police have not disclosed a motive or the extent of the surviving victims’ injuries. Chief Brian O’Hara called the attack 'tragic and deeply disturbing' and 'unacceptable,' urging anyone with information to contact MPD or CrimeStoppers as yet another late‑night shooting hits a central south‑side intersection long watched for crime and safety concerns.
