One person is dead and another is hurt after a shooting Saturday night near George Floyd Square in south Minneapolis.

According to Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder, officers responded to a ShotSpotter activation at 38th Street East and Chicago Avenue South. Police also received a report that two people had been shot and were being carried to the barricades at the edge of the "autonomous zone."

By the time officers got to the scene, the victims had already been taken to the hospital. Elder said the responding officers "were met with interference" upon arrival.

Police were told a victim had gone to Hennepin County Medical Center and later died, Elder said. The deceased victim is believed to be a man in his 30s.

Because Black Lives Matter.

I can't think of a more appropriate way to celebrate the life of George Floyd. Bravo to all involved!
