When police arrived, they found two men with gunshots wounds and gave them first aid. Both men were taken to Hennepin Heath, and police said one of them was in critical condition. Officers say both men were in a house when shots were fired outside.
At the same time, police were at the intersection of Washington Avenue South and Chicago Avenue South responding to call for a man bleeding from a gunshot wound. The man was taken to a hospital, and officers said his injury wasn't life threatening. Police said they believe the man was originally shot near 21st Avenue South and Riverside Avenue, and that he traveled to the location where emergency crews found him.
Later Saturday night, just before 9:30, police said they got multiple 911 calls about a shooting a block from the Minneapolis Convention Center. Police said they found evidence of gunfire in the 1500 block of Nicolette Avenue as a 15-year-old boy with a gunshot wound arrived in a private vehicle at North Memorial Medical Center.

Around 1:15 Sunday morning, Minneapolis police responded to a shots fired call in the 2200 block of West Broadway Avenue in the Jordan neighborhood.

An hour later, officers got multiple 911 calls about a shooting and vehicles speeding away from the Speedway on Lyndale Avenue South.
