MPD makes arrest after neighbors' attack on homeless shelter
Scrutiny over police response
Amid scrutiny over its response, Minneapolis police arrested a suspect in connection with a neighbor's attack on a homeless shelter. The incident, which occurred on Monday, is the latest in a series of attacks on homeless shelters in the city.
Outrage over lack of police response
The attack has sparked outrage among community members and advocates for the homeless. Many have criticized the police for not doing enough to protect the shelter and its residents. In a statement, Mayor Jacob Frey said he was "deeply concerned" by the attack and called for a "thorough investigation."
The arrest comes after days of protests and demands for action from city officials. On Tuesday, a group of protesters gathered outside the shelter to demand that the city do more to protect the homeless. The protesters also called for the resignation of Police Chief Medaria Arradondo.
The police have said they are investigating the attack and have increased patrols in the area. The suspect, who has not been identified, is expected to be charged with assault.
The attack on the homeless shelter is a reminder of the challenges that homeless people face in Minneapolis. The city has one of the highest rates of homelessness in the country, and homeless people are often the target of violence and discrimination.
As the investigation into the attack continues, community members and advocates for the homeless are calling for more to be done to protect the city's most vulnerable residents.
