Eight people were wounded, some critically, in a shooting in a Minneapolis park during unofficial Fourth of July celebrations, according to officials.
Police said the shooting took place about 11:30 p.m. Monday at Boom Island Park.
"We were just watching fireworks and we just heard a whole bunch of shots," Kaayla Laanaee told WCCO-TV. "I just heard them going over my head to the trees. I was just ducking by the lake."
First responders converged on the park and police began investigating and laying evidence markers. Police say many in the large group that had gathered in the park left before officers arrived. They say some shooting victims arrived at local hospitals on their own and police were notified by medical staff.
