According to Minneapolis police, the shooting occurred during a physical altercation involving multiple people at the intersection of 4th Street Southeast and 13th Avenue Southeast.

Benson was sleeping in his Dinkytown home when gunshots were heard in the street.

A witness sent 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS a video showing investigators standing around a gun that is now considered evidence.

Bullets from the shooting pierced the glass of a library across the street.

“But in order to provide a safe place for students, we also want to teach students how to be safe in the neighborhood and be aware of their surroundings,” said Nicholas Juarez, U of M Department of Public Safety. “That visible presence conveys students a feeling of security.
