A suspect is in custody after a series of violent incidents that started in south Minneapolis and ended with two shootings and a carjacking in Kandiyohi County.
The initial incident began shortly after 12:30 p.m. when officers responded to reports of shots fired from the sixth floor of an apartment building on the 2900 block of Lyndale Avenue South in Minneapolis.
Lyndale Avenue was immediately shut down between W. 28th and 29th Streets as officers worked to secure the scene, with the suspect’s ex-girlfriend telling Minneapolis police that he was suicidal, according to initial law enforcement radio dispatches.
