Minneapolis starting to map out locations of cannabis retailers
Minneapolis city leaders are taking steps toward setting rules for cannabis sales.
With licenses expected to be available starting next year, a planning commission is considering where certain types of cannabis businesses can be located in the city. That includes businesses which grow, sell and deliver marijuana.
A current recommendation would ban businesses from operating within 350 feet of K-12 schools, but that distance could increase.
“That’s just showing schools. Again, not showing daycares or parks, or any of those other things that we could space for, but we are not proposing to space for,” said Sara Roman, the Senior City Planner for the City of Minneapolis.
Residents curious about the ongoing discussions can view a presentation about the proposals, and or read the cities’ document.
A zoning plan is expected to be finalized by the end of the summer.
Three people are injured after a shooting in north Minneapolis on Monday night.
The Minneapolis Police Department says that just before 8:20 p.m., officers responded to the report of a shooting on the 1600 block of Girard Avenue North.
Authorities found a man with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds outside a vehicle and a woman in the vehicle with at least one non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Both were brought to the hospital for their injuries.
Police were notified that a third person was injured and found a man hiding in a shed on the 1500 block of Girard Avenue North, who was also brought to the hospital with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
MPD is working to determine what led up to the shooting and how the three people are connected to each other.
No arrests have been made at this time.
A federal judge has quashed a set of grand jury subpoenas targeting Minnesota officials including Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Attorney General Keith Ellison, ruling that the Department of Justice was attempting to “harass” Minnesota leaders into enforcing immigration policy. FOX 9’s Rob Olson has the story.
Three men were shot early Monday morning near a busy northeast Minneapolis intersection, and police say one of the victims is fighting for his life.
Minneapolis police say the shooting happened just before 12:30 a.m. near the area of East Hennepin Avenue and University Avenue Northeast.
Witnesses called 911 to report “multiple rounds of gunfire” and seeing people fleeing on foot in the area.
Police say officers arrived at the scene to find a man suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds. About 10 minutes after the shooting, two others arrived at Hennepin Healthcare with wounds that aren’t considered life-threatening.
This was the third reported shooting this weekend in the city. A woman was shot in the head and hand Saturday night near Bossen Field Park in the southeast corner of the city.
About three hours later, two men were shot near the Wedge Community Co-op off Lyndale Avenue and West 22nd Street. One of the men later died at Hennepin Healthcare.
No arrests have been made in any of these cases, police say, and the respective investigations are ongoing.
