One person is dead and six others are injured, including two police officers, after a shooting near 15 East Grant Street Wednesday afternoon in downtown Minneapolis, according to law enforcement sources. The suspected shooter is also dead.

City officials are asking the public to avoid the area from 12th Street to Franklin Avenue and Hennepin Avenue to Third Avenue South.

A high-ranking official also told WCCO that the two officers are likely to be alright.

The scene, at the intersection of Nicollet and Grant, drew an extraordinary show of force from law enforcement agencies well beyond the Minneapolis Police Department.

A motive for the shooting is not known.

The focus of the response centered on an apartment complex on Grant Street, where officers armed with long guns kept watch on the building for an extended period. Two heavy armored SWAT vehicles were staged at the intersection, and ambulances lined both the immediate area and the block leading toward downtown.

Several stretchers were seen being brought out of the building. Some of those removed appeared to be nursing leg injuries, while the condition of others was not immediately clear.
