MINNEAPOLIS—Extra police are keeping watch at schools throughout the metro area here after a mass-casualty shooting left the community reeling and demanding preventive action.
The Minneapolis and St. Paul police departments worked with the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and other agencies “to expand patrols around all schools within Minneapolis over the next couple of weeks,” the City of Minneapolis said. Officers were being organized into “two-person squads, with two squads assigned per precinct across five precincts in Minneapolis, with a particular focus on schools and places of worship.”
