Gunshots were heard near the intersection named after George Floyd in Minneapolis on the first anniversary of his murder.

Video from the scene posted on Twitter by Associated Press journalist Phillip Crowther captured the shots, and the AP later reported the gunfire.

Crowther said people were sheltering in place at the intersection.

What fun! Did the kids get to take home baggies full of meth home?

As if they needed a special occasion to shoot up that area.

A mob warning to those who might snitch about where the funny money came from?

A warning to the employees who called the police last year on this day?

“Random”?

why would this surprise anyone? Every MLK Day is plagued by gunshots, stabbings, gang fights, and other criminal activities. Why would a day honoring a career criminal be any different?

Is there any large gathering of minorities for any reason that doesn’t have some kind of confrontational violence????

They are just getting warmed up for the upcoming “Juneteenth” celebrations. Talk about illiterates. Only a child or someone who didn't speak English would come up with the ridiculous name “Juneteenth”.

Hearing a lot this morning about this anniversary with that “murder” term being used universally now that the (first) verdict is in.

Mostly peaceful.

Was the feast day over the weekend, yesterday or is it today?

[Richard Axtell]

How best to celebrate a murder, than with another murder! These lunatics will not stop at murder though. Look around you, Minneapolis! You see before you your future. Empty stores, ruins, destroyed neighborhoods, and for sale signs. Aren’t you proud of yourselves?
