Minneapolis to bring in outside Police help to deal with surge in murders
Minneapolis police are bringing in outside help as they try to temper weekend violence that killed a least four people, including a college senior who was out celebrating graduation.
Mayor Jacob Frey, speaking a day after a mass shooting downtown, said the city has asked state and federal agencies for assistance, as Minneapolis police face a shortage of officers.
“Safety in our city has to be a priority,” Frey said Sunday, calling the reinforcements “really, really critical.”
The weekend’s victims included two men struck by gunfire on the North Side, a gunman in the mass shooting downtown that injured eight, and the college student whose family described as “an innocent bystander.”
