Hi all - A co-worker of mine who attends the church near Cedar & M'haha Pkwy told me about a shooting that took place near there last week. (She had choir practice there yesterday evening & was shown blood stains that remained from the shooting.) She showed me an MPD weekly crime map that shows it as an aggravated assault (link below). http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/police/crime-statistics/codefor/maps/recent/537_Pct3_ViolentCrimes.pdf I also noticed on the map that there was an aggravated assault last week on the corner of E 42nd St & 28th Ave S. That one concerns me more than the other b/c I live a couple blocks from it. Does anyone have any details on either of these crimes? I checked WCCO & the Strib web sites, but didn't see anything. Thanks, Ann Novitske
I had the dog out a few nights ago (11:00?) and heard what sounded like
about 15 rounds going off south of the neighborhood. Possibly the incident
by the parkway. I hurried the dog in and locked the house.
Got an email today from MPD with this description:
> 4700 blk Cedar Av S: Officers responded to shooting at gas station; 2 victims
> shot while inside their car; conflicting stories from victims; 1 had bullet
> near his heart but was talking, stable; 2 guns involved; 2nd victim had minor
> wounds

Here's some details from a MPD Codefor report that was forwarded to me.
