Violence Escalates: Urgent Call to Close Minneapolis Homeless Camp After Mass Shooting

A mass shooting at a Minneapolis homeless camp leaves eight injured, prompting city officials to clear the site amid legal battles with property owner Hamoudi Sabri. Recent violence spikes in the area, with city leaders criticized for inadequate responses. No arrests have been made.

Eight people were wounded, with four critically injured, in a shooting at a homeless camp on private property in Minneapolis, police reported.

The incident occurred just hours after another shooting at a transit station left five injured, highlighting a violent summer in Minneapolis that has included high-profile attacks.

Minneapolis city officials announced plans to clear the encampment following the shooting. However, property owner Hamoudi Sabri criticized the decision, calling for more substantial aid like grief counseling and emergency shelter options, rather than simply displacing vulnerable individuals.
