I am writing to provide you with important information about an incident that occurred earlier today near Allina Commons.


At approximately 3 p.m., an Allina employee was shot and injured while waiting at a bus top on the north side of E. Lake Street between Elliot and 10th Avenues. The employee’s injury was not life-threatening, and he was treated at a local hospital and released.



According to the Minneapolis Police, an armed individual ran out of a nearby building on E. Lake Street and began shooting at an unidentified target. Police are continuing to search for the suspect, who remains at large. To our knowledge, no other people were injured.



While we are thankful the employee’s injury was minor, this isolated incident clearly concerns us. Allina and Abbott Northwestern Hospital are committed to the neighborhood and will continue to work with local police to ensure the safety and security of all employees.



While leaving Abbott Northwestern Hospital this afternoon and this evening, we encourage you to use normal diligence and caution.



If you parked in a ramp, we recommend that you use one of the tunnels or the skyway to reach your automobile.



Escorts are available by calling Security at 3-5416.



We will continue to provide updates about additional security measures as well as details about the incident.
