Car to car shootings on the rise in Minneapolis

This week on Minneapolis 911, our first hour long show, we talk about the outrageous number of car to car shootings that are occurring in Minneapolis.

Just this past week, a Minneapolis fire truck was struck by three bullets by a passing car on the corner of 28th street and Bloomington avenue south at 4:45pm. That's right. It happened in broad daylight! And the firetruck was not the intended target! The fire truck was merely in the way of two cars that were shooting at one another. You can read more about the story HERE.

Days before the fire truck was hit, a shoot out between two cars in North Minneapolis left a toddler, who was riding in the car seat of the back of a mini-van, dead. His sibling riding next to him was struck by a bullet in the leg but lived. Their dad, who was driving the car, was supposedly one of the shooters involved. More about that story can be seen HERE.

People who don't live downtown and who don't have their finger on the pulse of the city might chalk this up to coincidence. It is not a coincidence. These shootings between cars is out of control in Minneapolis. I record live police dispatch calls in order to play clips on my show that illustrate what is really going on in the city of Minneapolis.  This week, I recorded a man who requested a police officer to meet him after his car was hit by multiple bullets. Also, a shoot out between two cars near the University of Minnesota left 24 shell casings on the ground at one intersection from one gun and five from another gun. Those two cars shot at each other again at another intersection before being caught.

No one was killed in the shoot out at the University of Minnesota and so guess what, it was never in the media. The reason I play these clips on our podcast is to make people aware of what exactly is going on in this city right under our noses. If we don't acknowledge it, it will continue and it will get worse.

  1. You may even lose your driver's permit. Auto protection offers you various advantages and finish genuine feelings of serenity. Regardless of these advantages, you may delay to get auto protection, because of higher premiums. car speaker hub

  2. The Phoenix collision protection rates vary from organization to organization which is by all accounts uncalled for as the driving records and the demographic data are the same. check over here
