“I think that minneapolis is the same as many other major US cities in that crime is very concentrated here.
And the people who are involved, unfortunately, in serious crime and gun violence, are those folks who are just as likely to become a victim of a crime as they are to become a suspect.
Crime in the city, particularly violent crime, in general, is not widespread, it is not random.
Particularly with community gun violence, it tends to be very targeted and concentrated.”– Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara 3/13/2024
