Three people were killed and six others injured in a mass shooting at Loring Park in Minneapolis. One of the three dead is the perpetrator — two people who were at the park were killed. ONYX covers the incident at the level of confirmed reporting, naming the two victims as their identities are confirmed through official Minneapolis Police Department and Hennepin County Medical Examiner reporting.
LORING PARK
Loring Park is a downtown Minneapolis public park adjacent to the Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. It is a park used by Minneapolis residents, arts visitors, and the broader public — the kind of accessible urban public space whose safety is fundamental to its function. Two people who were at the park were shot and killed.
THE MINNEAPOLIS CONTEXT
Minneapolis has been a specific focus of ONYX’s immigration enforcement and public safety coverage throughout the arc: the DHS surveillance of Minneapolis churches and unions (August 26); the ICE detention of community members; and the specific federal enforcement posture in a city whose policing reforms have been documented since 2020. The Loring Park shooting is a specific public safety incident that occurs in a city already carrying significant federal-local enforcement tension.
Two people were at a park in Minneapolis. They were shot and killed. The park is in downtown Minneapolis. The shooter is also dead. Six others were wounded. The investigation is active.
