Campus police are investigating the incident, with the help of the Minneapolis Police Department and Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz wrote in a social media post Friday night, “Horrific news of a shooting near Mariucci Arena during a graduation event tonight – a time of celebration that should never have turned into one of fear and sadness.”
