Bystanders at the Minneapolis intersection where George Floyd died ducked for cover Tuesday as gunshots rang out nearby, taking shelter briefly. No immediate injuries were reported.
An Associated Press journalist shooting video at 38th and Chicago reported hearing as many as 30 gunshots about a block east of the intersection, and said a storefront window appeared to have been broken by a gunshot.
“Very quickly things got back to normal,” Philip Crowther, the AP journalist, said. “People here who spend a significant amount of time, the organizers, were running around asking, ‘Does anyone need a medic?’ It seems like there are no injuries.”
A police spokesman didn’t immediately respond to a message.
The intersection has been a memorial to Floyd since his death on Memorial Day one year ago. A street festival was planned later Tuesday to mark the anniversary.
Here’s the moment when shots were fired near George Floyd Square earlier this morning. Video below:
A reporter just had her phone smashed because she took photos of a storefront hit by a bullet.
Police said they responded to a reports of gunfire at about 10:10 a.m. at the 3800 block of Elliot Ave. South. Callers told police that a vehicle was seen speeding away from the area.
Soon after, someone went to nearby Abbott Northwestern Hospital with a gunshot wound.
Like other major cities, Minneapolis has been struggling with rising gun violence, a problem made worse by many officers leaving the embattled force since Floyd’s death. A 6-year-old girl was fatally shot and two other children wounded in recent weeks. Mayor Jacob Frey last week unveiled a sweeping set of public safety proposals aimed at fixing the problem. Other groups are pursuing a more radical remaking of the police department.
The intersection of 38th and Chicago has been barricaded since soon after Floyd’s death and quickly turned into a memorial — and also a challenging spot for the city, with police officers not always welcome.
Indeed, may the kneelers and cucks receive our golden shower of wisdom.
That horrible Philonise Floyd arrogantly telling Biden "get this taken care of" as if he's a butler is the only time lately I've sided with Biden. He should show respect for his betters. Biden does not have to do the bidding of lowlife and irresponsible Floyd relatives. They should be begging forgiveness for their family's sins.
WaPo: ....— Floyd was stopped by police or charged at least 19 times in his adult life, according to records, friends, and family. In a handful of encounters, he ...
COURT DOCUMENTS: George Floyd Profile Reads Like A Career Criminal June 6, 2020 The unfortunate death of George Floyd which sparked a Civil War like atmosphere in America has now snowballed into worldwide protests. All four officers involved have now been suspended, arrested and charged. Floyd had moved to Minneapolis after being released from Texas prison for aggravated robbery. He was under the influence of fentanyl and methamphetamine at the time of arrest. He went to jail for atleast 5 times and a look at George Floyd’s profile as per court documents reads like a career criminal involved in drug abuse, theft, criminal trespassing, aggravated robbery as well as entering a woman’s home and pointing a gun at her stomach while looking for drugs and money.

Those cartridges cost a $1.00 per round, where did these people get that much money?
Paid for with their government freebie unemployment checks.
