Police have arrested one of the three white men who allegedly fired into a crowd near the Black Lives Matter encampment Monday night.
Minneapolis police said they arrested a 23-year-old suspect in Bloomington at 11:20 a.m. Tuesday. Police are still searching for the other two suspects.
Authorities are weighing whether to treat the shooting of five people protesting near the Minneapolis Police Department’s 4th Precinct Monday night as a hate crime, sources familiar with the investigation said Tuesday morning.
White Supremists make their presence known at protest for death of unarmed victim
Noor, a media contact for Black Lives Matter, said “a group of white supremacists showed up at the protest, as they have done most nights.”
One of the men wore a mask, said Dana Jaehnert, who had been at the protest site since early evening.
When about a dozen protesters attempted to herd the group away from the area, Noor said, they “opened fire on about six protesters,” hitting five of them. Jaehnert said she heard four gunshots.

Minneapolis police officers fatally shot Jamar Clark on Nov. 15, protesters have continuously staged protests outside the department’s Fourth Precinct station and have demanded video footage of the incident.
Clark’s funeral will take place Wednesday, and his family requested that no protests take place that day. But some protesters said the demonstrations will continue at least through Thursday evening, when protesters plan to march from the Fourth Precinct to the city government buildings downtown.
“This is a people’s movement and we have to do what the people want,” protester Jacob Laddea said. “That means we will still be here on Wednesday.”
In addition to the release of the tapes, protester Tammy Finn said a desire for justice led her to the police station.
“They took somebody from our community, and we need justice for that,” she said.

Minnesota governor Mark Dayton
Black Minnesotans are just plain stupid
Twitter message posted Sunday to the account of the 7th Congressional District Republicans has Minnesota Democrats claiming racism.
The 7th District covers a wide swath of western Minnesota, including Moorhead.
The following tweet was sent out:
MNCD7GOP
MN #DFL
Now propose a "special session"
to deal with their self created
#Negroproblem
The tweet linked to an article on the website
ourblacknews dot com
titled “Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton thinks Black Minnesotans are just plain stupid.” It accused the the DFL and Dayton of having a “Negro problem” because Democrats ignored agendas put forth by African-Americans but now want to call a special legislative session over the shooting of a black youth in north Minneapolis.
The article’s writer, identified as Don Allen, goes on to write: “I don’t think the con-job is going to work this time. The political types already have the plan written earlier in the year; the problem is that plan would put black Minnesotans back in the game, they cannot have that, those Negroes might start voting Republican.”
The DFL released a statement from chairman Ken Martin calling the comments “racist and bigoted.”
“The GOP is clearly out of touch on issues of race here in Minnesota and around the country,” Martin’s statement said. “Regrettably these comments have become commonplace in the Republican Party and it should be no surprise that they are now an accepted and normal part of their conversation. While our community is still struggling with the death of a young man and trying to find answers for his family, the Republican Party of Minnesota decided to chime in with racist and bigoted comments.
