Less than a week after a fatal shooting in the George Floyd Autonomous Zone, a drive-by shooting was carried out on a large group of people inside the zone.
Around 9:56 PM on Friday night, Minneapolis Police reported shots fired from a light-colored Silverado. A passenger initially fired at the Minneapolis Police.
After an hour-long pursuit ensued, Police were able to successfully detain all suspects. One suspect suffered a gunshot wound to the hand.
Gunshots were reportedly coming from the rear passenger side window.
JUST NOW: Felony stop with “hands outside the window”(per scanner traffic) at 38/Elliot. Neighborhood begs the Minneapolis Police not to shoot. “They want out, don’t shoot!”. The heavily armed MPD respond with force yelling “Get the fuck out of the car now!!” pic.twitter.com/xusHOIUaWJ

The George Floyd Autonomous Zone usually has a “NO COP” policy, but not last night.
