Three injured in shooting at downtown Minneapolis nightclub

Multiple people were hospitalized after a shooting at the Tantrum Nightclub in downtown Minneapolis led to a "violent, chaotic scene" Sunday morning, police say.

According to the Minneapolis Police Department, officers were responding to a report of a person with a gun on the 100 block of 4th Street North just before 2 a.m. when they heard gunfire coming from the nearby Tantrum Nightclub, which is held weekly at Dulono's Sports Bar.

Once at the club, officers found one man with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, with the victim taken to Hennepin County Medical Center.

A short time later, officers heard more gunfire coming from a surface parking lot next to the club. There, a driver was stopped for driving recklessly, with a man arrested and a gun recovered.

Police later learned that two other victims, one of whom was minor, had also been dropped off at HCMC with non-life threatening gunshot wounds in connection to the incident, with police learning a fight had broken out in the club that led to gunfire inside and then outside the venue.

The incident comes after a shooting at downtown's Vanquish nightclub left one man seriously injured earlier this month, with MPD Chief Brian O'Hara saying incidents such as these are significant drains on police resources.

Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary, paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault in 2017 as part of a settlement agreement, an attorney for Hegseth said in a statement on Saturday. Tim Parlatore, a lawyer for the former Fox News star, said in the statement that Hegseth settled in December 2020 only because he feared his career would suffer if her allegations were made public. Parlatore said Hegseth was the victim of "blackmail" and "false claims of sexual assault" by an unidentified woman after a Republican women's convention in California on Oct. 7, 2017.
