Minnesota is supposed to be one of the most peaceful states in the United States, including by ratings which address firearms issues. As I have begun to pay closer attention to firearm violence, attempting to improve my awareness by posting them here, I have been stunned at the frequency of this violence. In the context that there is MORE firearm violence in other states, this is even more unacceptable for all of us in the U.S.
Here is another example, yet again from the STrib:

Officers found the victim outside still conscious. He was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center and soon died.
The victim's identity has yet to be released pending notification of relatives.
The shooter has yet to be found, police said.
