Minneapolis Crime

Apparently, buses are now free-fire zones.
Way to go, Twin Cities.

One witness said the bus was already stopped at the intersection to pick up passengers. The witness, who asked not to be identified, said the shooting started as soon as the doors closed and the driver opened them again.

Bus 872 continued one block down Emerson to Broadway. At that point, the shooting victim was removed and ambulanced to North Memorial Hospital.

Police reports identify him as 34-year-old Cleveland Montgomery. Police records indicate he lives on Cedar Lake Road in North Minneapolis, but current residents say Montgomery has not lived there for several months. In fact, they say Montgomery was wounded in aseparate shooting incident at the Cedar Lake Road house about three months ago.

In that incident, they say he was not seriously hurt. His wounds in Thursday's shooting are more life-threatening. Montgomery remained in critical condition Friday afternoon.

But, I guess extra police officers take a back seat to a goddamn baseball stadium.
