GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — 4 dead, including 2 children and a gunman after Minneapolis shooting
Minneapolis Police say four people, including two children, a woman and a gunman, were shot and killed Sunday morning in the city's south side. Officers responded to shots fired around 10 a.m. in the 2700 block of Oakland Avenue S., near Abbott Northwestern Hospital. Police found two juvenile males with gunshot wounds outside the home. Police spokesman John Elder said an "adult male" ran into a house where more gunfire was heard by the responding officers. The officers attempted life saving measures, but the children died. Elder said he did not know the ages of the children but "they're young, we're not talking teenagers." The shooting appears to be a domestic situation. The identities of the victims have not been released.
The National Weather Service reported a weekend blizzard dumped 21.7 inches of snow on parts of Duluth, the 9th biggest two-day snowfall on record in the city.

Even when it reopened Sunday, MnDOT still advised people not to travel on it. The highway was snow covered south of Duluth with multiple crashes. The city was also concerned about flooding near the shore of Lake Superior. They had to close several roads in Duluth's Canal Park due to flooding from the storm.
