Two civilians are dead and two Minneapolis cops were shot in a downtown apartment building

The first reports made this sound like another active shooter situation.

Now we know it’s worse.

Two civilians are dead. The suspected shooter is dead. Three Minneapolis officers were injured, including two who were shot. Police say officers entered the building after a 911 call and then followed additional gunfire to an upper floor where visibility was badly limited by a haze.

The part I’d watch next is why the shooter was there and what happened before police arrived.

The early reporting is already saying the suspect had been recently evicted from the building, but authorities haven’t established a motive yet.
