Classes at Stewartville High School in southern Minnesota are canceled on Friday after an early morning shooting in the parking lot, officials said.

As officials from the Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office explained in a statement this morning, the shooting that occurred in Stewartville does not appear to have been random, and there is no current threat to the safety of students and staff in Stewartville, Rochester, and other schools in our region.

This officer-involved shooting happened on a violent night in Minneapolis, with two homicides occurring just hours before. The first happened just before 9:30 p.m. on the 2900 block of Emerson Avenue North, where a man in his 20s was killed in a shooting.

Minnesota has not had a moose season since 2012, as the once-thriving population began a rapid decline about 20 years ago.

Authorities say there is no additional threat to students, staff or the public.

A 21-year-old man has been accused of shooting at Bloomington, Minnesota, officers before they returned fire near the Mall of America on Wednesday.

A man arrested in Minnesota in connection with a deadly shooting at a northeast Atlanta townhome community in 2023 is facing charges in a second fatal shooting in the city, Atlanta police said Tuesday.
