At least two shot during Wayzata High School graduation ceremony at Mariucci Arena
The suspect is currently in custody.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – A shooting incident during a high school graduation ceremony outside 3M Arena at Mariucci has left at least two individuals injured and one person in custody, according to law enforcement and emergency officials.
The incident unfolded around 8:33 p.m. Friday in the area of 1901 4th Street SE, on the University of Minnesota campus in Southeast Minneapolis.
According to dispatch audio and emergency reports, multiple shots were fired during what was described as a large altercation involving a group of young men.
The arena was hosting the commencement ceremony for Wayzata High School at the time, scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.
University of Minnesota Police responded to the scene and apprehended a suspect matching the description provided: a Black male in his 20s, wearing a red and black shirt, blue hoodie, and jeans, who reportedly fled on foot following the shooting.
The suspect is currently in custody.
Authorities have not released his identity at this time.
Emergency Medical Services transported a 49-year-old male victim with a gunshot wound to the head and a 19-year-old male who sustained two gunshot wounds to the thigh.
Both were taken to area hospitals; the condition of the 49-year-old is not yet known, while the 19-year-old is believed to be in stable condition.
There were unconfirmed reports of a third injured individual who may have been taken from the scene in a private vehicle, which investigators are continuing to explore.
Cellphone video captured by a bystander shows a large group of individuals engaged in a fight moments before gunfire erupted.
It remains unclear whether the shooting occurred inside or outside the arena, though initial information and statements from officials suggest the incident took place outside.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz addressed the incident in a statement on social media, calling the shooting “horrific” and expressing support for the victims and their families.
“Horrific news of a shooting near Mariucci Arena during a graduation event tonight – a time of celebration that should never have turned into one of fear and sadness,” Walz stated. “As officials take the suspect into custody, I’m praying for the injured. We’re in touch with University of Minnesota Police, and the state stands ready to assist in any way possible.”
Wayzata Public Schools also issued a statement confirming the incident occurred following the graduation ceremony and that they are working to gather accurate information.
The University of Minnesota Police Department is leading the investigation with assistance from other local agencies. Authorities are urging anyone with information or footage related to the incident to come forward.
Further updates will be provided as more details become available.

Omaha Police Respond to False Active Shooter Report at UNO Criss Library

OMAHA, Neb. — At approximately 5:00 p.m., officers with the Omaha Police Department (OPD) and personnel from the Omaha Fire Department (OFD) responded to reports of an active shooter and multiple victims at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) Criss Library, located at 6401 University Drive.
The initial 911 call reported a mass casualty incident involving an active shooter with several individuals down inside the library.
In response, multiple law enforcement and emergency medical units were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival, officers conducted a comprehensive search of the building and surrounding area.
No victims, evidence of gunfire, or active threat were located.
After clearing the scene, authorities determined that the report was false and appears to have been a swatting call — a deliberate act of making a false emergency report to prompt a large police response.
The Omaha Police Department has confirmed that there was no danger to the public or the university community at any time.
The incident remains under investigation to identify the source of the false report.
Swatting is a serious criminal offense, and those found responsible can face federal and state charges.
