Shooting Not Believed To Be Politically Motivated
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The 17-year-old boy killed and another man hurt Monday in a north Minneapolis shooting were members of a Republican congressional candidate’s campaign.
The Lacy Johnson campaign says the two victims were members of the outreach team and were not performing campaign duties when the shooting occurred Monday afternoon at the intersection of North Fremont and Dowling avenues.
According to the Lacy Johnson campaign and Minneapolis police, the shooting is not believed to be a politically motivated attack.
Minneapolis police say a group of people were standing outside of a Super USA convenience store when one or more shooters opened fire. The teenager and the man were hit, and emergency crews brought them to Hennepin Healthcare for treatment. The teenager was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
Investigators are still searching for the shooters, who fled the scene on foot. The man who survived was listed in serious but stable condition.
Johnson, the Republican candidate, is running to unseat Rep. Ilhan Omar in Minnesota’s 5th District, which encompasses Minneapolis and some surrounding suburbs.
“Today, we are shocked and saddened to learn of this senseless act of violence. It is shocking and unnecessary acts of violence like this that prove why change is more needed than ever in our community.” the Johnson campaign wrote, in a statement.
Minneapolis has experienced a surge in gun violence this summer. According to police, this year is on track to double 2019’s homicide total.
They both probably both tried committing suicide thinking Hiden Biden could actually win the presidency.
Oh wait, they were actual members of the Republican candidate opposition campaign for Lacy Johnson (R) and the shooters are on the loose.
What a coinkydink. RIP little fella.
still no news on finding the killer of the bookshop owner, Bernell Trammell, in Milwaukee, who supported President Trump.
Well ... if it’s not politically motivated, why were these two, in a group of people, shot?

Shooting Not Believed To Be Politically Motivated
Two random sentences.
Two random thoughts.
It’s a random world we live in
and I don’t give two snots.
Sure!...No political motive. /s
Scott Adams predicted that the Demon-Rats would start hunting Republicans.
You don’t know much about the black lower class. You can find them standing on street corners just looking for a mark or some action.
Hanging out.
Not all black people, so don’t flame me.....but there is a class of blacks that do. The are the people who form instant mobs at a wreck or a police arrest or car jack you at the traffic light.
They are a threat to any one that looks like a mark.
Who do you think kills all of those black people we read about in Chicago, NY, St. Louis, Memphis, etc.?
Yet another murder in this county’s current civil war.
JoMa
I know what you mean, but if those two men were there, I’d
venture there was something else going on. These two
wouldn’t frequent the type of scene you’re describing.
They’d be a pretty easy targets for that crowd.
How come when a cop shoots someone it’s the cop at fault, but when the gangbangers have a drive-by shooting it the guns fault?
After thinking about it (a result of your reply), I suspect you are correct.
Even people in high places use drugs and around here almost every “mysterious” crime has dope as a factor.
That would also explain the cops and the victims’ organization immediately dismissing politics as the cause.
How many Republicans have murdered Democrats this political season?
“They will be gunning for you and me if hiden wins.”
and some of us will be shooting back
“not believed to be a politically motivated attack.”
BS!
“Republicans will be rioting in the streets and burning down Minneapolis.”
Nah, were too busy at work so we can pay taxes to support the ungrateful little savages.
“They are searching for them the same way O.J. Simpson is looking for his wife’s killer.”
Mr Magoo has a better chance at finding the shooter.
Riiiiiight...just a big coincidence in Alta Mogadishu
By virtue of the fact, that it was the FIRST thing they said, leads me to believe, there is a very good chance it WAS politically motivated.
Appalling. RIP.

Take THAT with a grain of salt!
The wages of local Somali Islam are being paid.
Johnson must be winning without Alahwahoo Whackbar.
