The City of Minneapolis released nearly 100 pages of transcripts from the terrifying sequence of events that left four dead, including the gunman as well as police officer Jamal Mitchell.
Included in the 95 pages from witnesses and others caught up in the gunfire are first-hand accounts of the mayhem.
“I got shot. I need help. I need an ambulance,” they are quoted as saying while gunfire is heard around them.
The identifications of individual callers are redacted, including a woman who had just seen her boyfriend shot to death, a good Samaritan motorist telling dispatchers he purposely hit the suspected gunman with his vehicle to protect others, as well as a victim shot in the hail of gunfire with their two-year-old son close by.
The transcripts capture the panic and chaos of the deadly mass shooting scene specifically inside and around the apartment building at 2221 Blaisdell Avenue in south Minneapolis including from within the since-boarded-up unit #18 where two men were fatally shot.
