Police say suspected gunman is also dead and that several people, including three officers, were wounded.

A shooting in Minneapolis has resulted in three fatalities, including the suspect, and several others are injured, according to local police. Among those injured are three police officers. Minneapolis Police spokesperson Garrett Parten stated that the suspect died at the scene, but it remains unclear how he perished. At a press conference, Parten revealed that one person passed away at the location and four were transported to a hospital, where one of them succumbed to their injuries later.

A hospital representative disclosed that two of the three wounded police officers were shot and are in stable condition, while the third officer's injuries are unknown. The motive for the shooting has not been disclosed. Governor Tim Walz requested people to pray for Minnesota, and FBI Director Kash Patel announced that his agents are on the scene. City officials are anticipated to deliver a press conference later today.
