Police: 2 Dead, At Least 4 Wounded in Minneapolis Office Shooting

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A workplace shooting in Minneapolis on Thuesday has left at least two people dead and four others wounded, police said.

The shooting at Accent Signage Systems, on the city’s north side, resulted in “a couple of fatalities” and at least four people being taken to hospitals, Minneapolis police spokesman Steve McCarty said. He said police are treating it as an active crime scene.

Hennepin County Medical Center was treating three people from the scene, all in critical condition, spokeswoman Christine Hill said. She said the hospital wasn’t expecting more patients with critical injuries.

Dozens of squad cars and police vehicles have surrounded the business in the Bryn Mawr neighborhood. Traffic was stopped on a nearby bridge along Penn Avenue, where law enforcement officers had rifles drawn and pointed at a park below. People from the neighborhood milled around but deputies kept them back.

Accent Signage Systems’ website says the company makes interior signage and listed its founder as Reuven Rahamim. A phone message left at the business and at a residential listing for Rahamim was not immediately returned.

“Very sad situation in Bryn Mawr,” Mayor R.T. Rybak tweeted. “Please stay away and let the police do their work.”

Hennepin County sheriff’s spokeswoman Lisa Kiava said earlier that deputies had been called to the shooting Thursday afternoon, though she didn’t have further information.

Welcome to Minnesota! I am sure Bush was at fault for this as well.

  Kaydeebeau, if you did even a little research you would find that the etymology of Rahamim is Hebrew and that Reuven is a variation on Reuben – also Hebrew – after one of the twelve tribes of Judah. Honor killings are not known in Israel or in Judaic culture. The more likely senario is that this was racially motivated.

  Kaydeebeau, do a little research. The etymology of Rahamim is Hebrew, not Arabic. Reuven is a variation on Reuben, one of the twelve tribes of Judah. Your theory has just been debunked.

  Why do you assume, without any facts, simply by the guys name that it’s either an “honor killing” or “racially motivated”? Maybe it was just a mad man, a disgruntled employee or a scorned lover. Maybe the other dead person is his wife or her lover…. could be one of many different scenarios but as soon as you hear an odd name you jump to honor killing or race.
  
  I get so tired of it, you sound just as bad as MSNBC.
