Heads up, folks: a Halloween night out in Dinkytown—Minneapolis' college hotspot—turned chaotic when automatic gunfire rang out around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday. According to Police Chief Brian O'Hara, one person died at the scene and two others, including a University of Minnesota student, were injured and taken to a nearby hospital. 🚨
Authorities recovered three firearms at the scene, one linked to the deceased male. Investigators are now working to figure out who opened fire and what sparked the violence amid busy Halloween celebrations.
Dinkytown is usually known for its buzzing bars, street food carts, and late-night beats—kind of like the weekend vibes in Singapore’s Clarke Quay or Manila’s BGC. But this incident shows how quickly a fun night out can turn dangerous.
While communities worldwide enjoy themed parties and street festivals, events like this highlight the need for stronger safety measures. From smarter crowd-management apps to stricter venue checks, making sure we can celebrate without fear should be a priority.
We’ll keep you posted as more details emerge. Stay safe out there, and don’t forget to look out for your crew! ✌️
