MPD chief condemns violent weekend in Minneapolis; 3 homicides since Saturday
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara spoke out Sunday against a spike in violent crime over the past few days that resulted in three homicides.
Overall, O’Hara said on Sunday there were six shootings and one stabbing since Saturday evening alone. The victims of the stabbing and two of the shootings died from their injuries, and those incidents are now being investigated as homicides:
The chief pleaded for the city to hire more officers to investigate the crimes and said he enlisted the help of other agencies such as the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office.
“This again just highlights the seriousness around the problem that we have with staffing in the city,” O’Hara said in a news conference. “And when we have a number of murders that happen in a close period of time, we have a number of serious crimes happen, I’m thankful that we have law enforcement partners to call upon to help us.”
