Gunman in deadly Minneapolis shooting was investigated for possessing a weapon
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The man who carried out a deadly shooting at an apartment building in Minneapolis had been investigated in June for displaying a gun, but no charges were filed, the county attorney said Thursday. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty stated that Carlton Johnson had 'shown the weapon, but did not draw it from his waistband' during the incident on June 25. The Minneapolis Police, who responded to the call that day, indicated that he had a legal permit to carry the weapon, according to a statement. Moriarty noted that the office decided not to file charges due to 'insufficient evidence to support a charge beyond a reasonable doubt.' Court documents indicate that Johnson was facing eviction and had threatened another resident with a weapon in the months leading up to the shooting, which left two dead and five others injured. The shooter was also subsequently shot by the police, the attorney said. On Thursday, investigators were thoroughly examining the shooting scene in downtown Minneapolis, which also left five other people injured.
