MINNEAPOLIS — At least one person was shot inside a Minneapolis nightclub Sunday morning after police say a fight broke out inside the venue.
According to the Minneapolis Police Department, officers were responding to a call just before 1:50 a.m. when they heard gunfire coming from the Tantrum NighClub at Dulono's Minneapolis. Officials found a man inside the club with a gunshot wound. The man was transported to a nearby hospital with an apparent "non-life-threatening" gunshot wound, according to MPD.
While responding, police say they heard additional gunfire from a parking lot near the club. Officials found a man "driving recklessly" through the lot, and eventually took him into custody. A news release says a gun was also recovered.
While taking the man into custody, police say more gunfire was heard. Two other people, including a juvenile, also arrived at the hospital with injuries officials say are "non-life-threatening," however, it's unclear where they were shot.
“Responding urgently to chaotic incidents like (the) latest shooting inside Tantrum nightclub and the shooting at Vanquish nightclub two weeks ago requires a large and immediate police response,” said MPD Chief Brian O'Hara in a press release. “This shows why we need sufficient numbers of officers available at bar close in Downtown, Dinkytown, and Uptown—without depleting the cops patrolling our neighborhoods. Thanks to the bravery and professionalism of our cops, a man was arrested after discharging a firearm, and a bad situation was interrupted before it got even worse.”
Police are still determining how the man who was arrested was involved, and whether there were other people involved.
