Over two dozen arrested in July 4th disturbances in Minneapolis, but no gun violence
(Minneapolis, MN) -- Minneapolis police say they arrested more than two dozen people early Friday morning when groups of young adults shot fireworks at police officers, civilians and their vehicles in the Dinkytown neighborhood near the U-of-M's East Bank campus. But there was no gun violence, compared to four shootings on July 4th last year and seven on Boom Island the year before.
