Three protesters were shot Monday night near the Black Lives Matter encampment at the 4th Precinct station in north Minneapolis.

According to Miski Noor, a media contact for Black Lives Matter, “a group of white supremacists showed up at the protest, as they have done most nights.”

When protesters attempted to herd the group away from the area, Noor said, they “opened fire on about 6 protesters,” hitting four of them. The shootings occurred near an alley about a block away from the precinct station.

... A Minneapolis police officer on the scene said that three people were shot, and that all injuries were non life-threatening.
