Our thoughts are with the Minneapolis Police Department following Wednesday’s deadly shooting in downtown Minneapolis.
Three Minneapolis police officers were injured while responding to reports of gunfire inside an apartment building, including two officers who were shot as they moved toward the threat.
Two civilians were killed and several others were injured. Thankfully, all three injured officers are expected to recover.
The courage displayed by officers who run toward danger to protect others is a reminder of the risks law enforcement officers face every day.
AOCDS stands with our brothers and sisters of the Minneapolis Police Department and wish the injured officers a full and speedy recovery. We also extend our deepest condolences to the victims, their families, and everyone affected by this tragedy. ... See MoreSee Less
