"Police arrived and located several people suffering from gunshot wounds," the Minneapolis Police Department said in a press release. "Multiple ambulances responded and transported victims to Hennepin County Medical Center. Others were transported to area hospitals in private vehicles," reports ABC News.
The shooting was done by more than one person, according to the Minneapolis Police Department, and the suspects reportedly approached the crime scene on foot when they began to open fire.
Authorities have not yet confirmed exactly how many shooters there were but say that the suspects involved all fled the scene and are currently on the run.
The Minneapolis Police Department is currently investigating the circumstances around the shooting and have not yet disclosed a possible motive for the attack.
No one is in custody at this time and authorities have not provided a description of the suspects yet.
The area is about three miles west of the Minneapolis area hit by rioting in the wake of George Floyd's death on 25 May, which sparked angry protests across the country.
Authorities said there is no reason to believe that this shooting was a reaction to George Floyd's death or other recent events in Minneapolis.
