The suspected gunman in a shooting at a downtown Minneapolis apartment building that left two people dead and three police officers injured was identified as a 35-year-old resident who was facing eviction from the property, reports said.
Sources identified the individual as Carlton Neal Johnson II, according in the Twin Cities. It described most of the cases as traffic violations, but added that Johnson previously was charged in two assaults and two misdemeanor drug cases.
Johnson also pled guilty in 2012 to violating a contact order in a domestic abuse case, The Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Minneapolis Police Department for comment.
Minneapolis Police Department Sgt. Garrett Parten said at a news conference on Wednesday that it's unclear how the suspected gunman died.
"Initial information indicated that one person had been shot, and additional 911 callers reported hearing further gunfire. Officers began arriving at approximately 4:39 p.m. and entered the high-rise apartment building," Parten said. "Inside, officers encountered victims and heard additional gunfire. Officers followed the sound of gunfire to the upper floor of the building and on that floor, officers encountered a haze that significantly limited their visibility. Three officers were injured, two of those by gunfire."
Officers were shot in the shin and abdomen, sources told Fox News.
