Officers were called to the scene around 5:15 p.m. for a shots fired call. A Minneapolis police officer, Jamal Mitchell, was rendering aid to someone when that person shot him, police said. Mitchell was taken to the hospital, where he died. The cause of death was determined to be multiple gunshot wounds, according to the medical examiner.
Minneapolis police opened fire and shot the suspect, who died at the scene.

Earlier, before the shooting, WCCO learned that the suspected gunman was seen striking a person on a scooter. A driver saw the altercation and hit the suspect while trying to drive away from the danger. The driver then heard guns shots, and called police when he got to safety.
