Police on Friday said they are still working to "determine the sequence of events that led up to the shooting." One man was arrested on Thursday for potential aiding and abetting after the fact, police said, but he has since been released.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara earlier said investigators could not rule out a connection between the two shootings at the encampments. Both incidents were believed to have been perpetrated by more than one shooter.

(15,947 posts)6. You want the police to randomly search the homeless?
based on what?

(29,725 posts)7. Are you thinking the homeless are shooting up themselves?
Its not impossible, but it is highly improbable as:
* Few homeless people have guns, which are expensive to buy and need bullets (more money) to work.
* Two homeless encampments were shot up by multiple people.
* Comes less than a week after Kilmeade suggested killing homeless people.
