At about 10 AM CDT this morning, shots were fired at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis in the one year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd. Details are still emerging, but as of now it sounds like someone in a car fired into the square and folks acting as local guards or a patrol returned fire and the car sped off. One person is reported to have been delivered by private vehicle to a nearby hospital then transferred to a hospital with a trauma center with non-life threatening injuries.
We had planned to walk over with our elementary school kids today after school to pay our respects, but I don’t think we will do so today now. Family friendly events had been planned for later today.
Here is video on twitter with the sounds of the shooting while a reporter (I believe for AP) was filming.
