Summary
Three people died in the Loring Tower shooting — including the suspected gunman, who a source said killed himself — and at least four others were wounded.
Officers were sent to the building at 4:36 p.m. after a report of someone shot; as they moved toward gunfire on an upper floor through heavy haze, two officers were shot and a third was hurt.
A city source said one officer was shot in the stomach and was stable after surgery by 6:45 p.m., while another was shot in the leg with non-life-threatening injuries.
Sources said police had already responded earlier Wednesday to a disturbance involving the same suspect, who had been evicted from the apartment that day.
The shooting shut down a broad stretch of downtown Minneapolis as ATF, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office and state investigators joined the response.
