The Gunman in a Deadly Minneapolis Shooting Had Left a Long Trail of Warning Signs
Police said Johnson had threatened neighbors and planned to shoot people after eviction efforts and domestic-violence complaints.
- Late Wednesday, Carlton Johnson killed two neighbors and injured five others in a Minneapolis apartment building before police fatally shot him 2 minutes after the 911 call.
- Facing eviction, Johnson repeatedly threatened to shoot building managers and his ex-girlfriend, showing neighbors his pistol days before the attack and warning of his plans.
- Authorities had investigated Johnson on June 25 for displaying a weapon but declined to file charges, citing insufficient evidence despite his legal permit to carry.
- Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans told reporters, "This is once again a situation where domestic violence is central to a really terrible situation." Hospitalization status of injured victims remained unclear.
- Interim Police Chief Bill Peterson defended the department's response, stating officers "only recently knew of many of the incidents" amid a large volume of cases limiting investigative resources.
