Grappling with a shortage of officers and increased crime, Minneapolis is seeking federal and state resources after the latest bout of violence in the city included a mass shooting that left a college student dead hours before his graduation Saturday. His father, Greg Johnson, asked people to say his son’s name in the fight to end gun violence. Separate from the mass shooting, a car crash victim was found also suffering from gunshot wounds when police responded to the scene; he later died from his injuries. "Safety in our city has to be a priority," Frey said Sunday, calling law enforcement reinforcements "really, really critical." Ladavionne Garrett Jr., 10, and Aniya Allen, 6, both were shot in separate incidents in Minneapolis over the past two weeks.
