Possible gang shooting in Minneapolis leaves 3 dead, and more headlines
As Minneapolis police investigated a triple-fatal shooting overnight, another fatal shooting broke out Wednesday afternoon, police said.
The second shooting happened just three blocks away from the original site on the 1500 block of East 25th Street. Police received 911 calls around 1 p.m., and found a man in his 30s suffering from a gunshot wound, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene. O'Hara said investigators are "not ruling out" that the shootings are related.
A stray bullet from the shooting struck a nearby SUV, O'Hara said, passing beneath the legs of an infant and a toddler in car seats.
Residents in the area are "obviously terrified," O'Hara said. He said police are pulling resources "city-wide," and are even asking for investigative help from the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.
O'Hara added that the shootings are possibly "associated with gang activity."
"It's completely foolish and we cannot allow it to stand," he added.
Tuesday's shooting broke out around 11:55 p.m. and involved five victims, three of whom died. The two others were taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. No one has been arrested.

Since then, investigators have followed "several leads," and are increasing police presence in the area "aimed at restoring a sense of safety," O'Hara said.
All six people who were shot in the 24-hour span were Native American, O'Hara said. He added that police are working with American Indian leaders to collaborate on a community response to the tragedy.

R.I. prisons did not accommodate Native American religious practices for three inmates, lawsuit alleges
Get Rhode Island News Alerts Sign up to get breaking news and interesting stories from Rhode Island in your inbox each weekday. Enter Email Sign Up But the state Department of Corrections 'has adopted no policies for accommodating Native American religious practices,' according to the complaint. Advertisement 'This is not a new problem,' the lawsuit states. 'For years Native American prisoners have complained about the absence of any religious accommodations at the ACI, but RIDOC has ignored those concerns.' Related : In an email on Friday, J.R. Ventura, a spokesman for the Department of Corrections, wrote, 'Since this is currently under litigation, we are unable to comment on the matter.' The lawsuit comes after the Department of Corrections settled a federal lawsuit brought by the ACLU and the clinic last year, which Advertisement Under the agreement announced last month, Wolf Pawochawog-Mequinosh will be permitted to wear the headband. The department was also required to adopt a process within 120 days that allows all prisoners to seek approval to obtain religious items and to attend services for their religion, the ACLU said in May. The case was slated to remain open, however, 'until the agency complies with that requirement,' the organization said. On Friday, the ACLU said that although Pawochawog-Mequinosh was allowed to obtain and wear the headband, the department 'did not agree to any similar accommodations for other prisoners.' 'We have brought suit once again to ensure that incarcerated persons who follow religious traditions of Native Americans are able to practice their religion behind bars and that their efforts to do so are not ignored or disrespected,' Lynette Labinger, an ACLU of Rhode Island cooperating attorney, said in a statement on Friday. 'Federal law and the First Amendment require that even in prison, the custodians do not get to dictate what is an accepted religion and how it should be practiced.' In the latest lawsuit, Smith is described as having religious beliefs 'based on the traditions of the Abenaki and Méti tribes, which are part of the Wabanaki Tribal Nation, as taught to him by his father and other family members.' 'Before his incarceration, Mr. Smith regularly engaged in the traditional Native American practice of burning sage to cleanse his space of negative energy and negative feelings,' the complaint states. 'Mr. Smith has a sincere belief that burning sage brings him closer to the earth, provides spiritual healing, and is a necessary component of his religious practice that connects him to the Creator.' Advertisement Moreino's religious beliefs 'are based on the traditions of the Narragansett tribe,' the lawsuit states. He wants to 'learn more and engage in practices arising out of Narragansett spiritual beliefs so that he can provide spiritual guidance to his children and pass down his cultural beliefs and practices,' according to the complaint. 'As a parent, Mr. Moreino feels strongly that a connection to spirituality is a core component of a person's identity and hopes to continue Native American traditions through his own children,' the lawsuit states. Shepard also has religious beliefs 'based on the traditions of the Narragansett tribe,' and he has 'made many attempts to explore and learn more about Native spiritual practices during his incarceration, including contacting the Narragansett tribe to establish his ancestral lineage and if possible to become a registered member of the tribe,' according to the lawsuit. 'Mr. Shepard has been seeking to deepen his spiritual practice and has sought information in the mail to learn the Nipmuck language, an Eastern Algonquian language,' the lawsuit states. 'He believes that learning the language will help deepen his connection to his culture and spirituality.' The parties allege the Department of Corrections has violated the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, and are seeking a court order to require the agency to accommodate their religious beliefs, according to the ACLU.

Lawmakers cut a tribal liaison with prisons from the budget. Tribes say they think it would help.
Flags of the 11 Native American tribes of Wisconsin in the Wisconsin State Capitol. (Wisconsin Examiner photo) At a state prison in Stanley, Wisconsin, participants in a Native American-focused group take part in traditional cultural practices. According to Ryan Greendeer, executive government relations officer with the Ho-Chunk Nation, Stanley Correctional Institution's chaplain recently reached out to the tribe with requests for the group's programming. The chaplain wanted teaching materials, as many materials in the current selection were old. He said that men learn songs and Native language with the materials, as well as history and culture. The chaplain said the men are eager to learn more about all things Native, according to Greendeer. He was also seeking a larger pipe bowl and poles to help build a new lodge. The pipe has a history of ceremonial use. The prison's annual report for fiscal year 2024 mentions a Native American smudge and drum group. The report says that each month, several religious organizations and volunteers come in to hold various services, and the list includes 'Sweat Lodge (Native American).' There were 79 American Indian or Alaska Native people at Stanley Correctional as of April 30, according to the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DOC). Gov. Tony Evers' budget recommendations for corrections included a tribal liaison position for the DOC. The liaison would be responsible for working with Native American tribes and bands on the agency's behalf. Each of the governor's cabinet agencies has already set at least one staff member to be a tribal liaison. The governor's proposal would create a new position, set aside for the job of tribal liaison for corrections. Evers also proposed creating a director of Native American affairs in the Department of Administration and tribal liaisons in several other agencies, including the Department of Justice and Department of Natural Resources. 'Gov. Evers' commitment has been—and always will be—to ensure that the state maintains strong partnerships with the Tribal Nations by recognizing and respecting the needs and perspectives of the Nations and Indigenous people,' Britt Cudaback, communications director for the governor's office, said in an email. The Legislature's Joint Finance Committee removed the proposed positions in May, along with hundreds of other items proposed by Evers. 'Unfortunately, [Evers] sends us an executive budget that's just piles full of stuff that doesn't make sense and spends recklessly and raises taxes and has way too much policy,' Joint Finance Committee co-chair Mark Born (R-Beaver Dam) said in May. Tribes already work with the state, including the Oneida Nation, which is located in northeast Wisconsin. The tribe told the Examiner that it continues to work with the state to make sure incarcerated Native Americans have proper access to culturally based practices and resources. With a tribal liaison that can help navigate the corrections system, the tribe's efforts to make sure resources are provided and distributed appropriately make better progress, the tribe said. 'These efforts will continue whether or not a tribal liaison position exists, although the impact on incarcerated individuals who use culturally based resources may be greater as efforts take longer,' the tribe said. The Oneida Nation said it 'supports tribes' efforts to ensure incarcerated members maintain access to appropriate support services as provided by tribal, state, and federal laws.' Maggie Olson, communications coordinator for the St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin, said the tribe is not located close to the corrections facilities where their tribal members are incarcerated. This is a significant barrier, she said. 'It would be nice to be able to have a better handle on where our people are within the system to ensure they are having their spiritual and cultural needs met,' Olson said in an email to the Examiner. 'It is much easier (at this time) to meet religious needs (think Christianity) within the correctional system than it is to meet the spiritual and cultural needs of Native Americans within the system.' A great first step would be having a dedicated person who can build relationships with incarcerated Native Americans, she said. In a statement, the tribe said the liaison 'would be a start to developing and enhancing tribal input with State initiatives.' The tribe said it wants to work with the DOC on access to supportive services in county jails. Olson said she met DOC Secretary Jared Hoy at an event on June 5 and that they had a great discussion about the potential benefits of a tribal liaison at the agency. 'With the uncertainties surrounding federal funding, we are hopeful state funding will be increased to tribal programs in Wisconsin,' Olson said. The tribe's criminal justice work involves partnership with the DOC. In the St. Croix Tribal Reintegration Program, case managers work with tribal members before and after their release from prison or jail, the tribe said. The program has a memo of understanding with the Department of Corrections, providing guidance for working relationships between tribal reentry and probation. All of the governor's cabinet agencies have consultation policies that say how they will work with tribal governments. Agencies and tribal elected officials have annual consultation meetings to talk about programs, laws and funding that may affect the tribe. Discussions at the annual state-tribal consultation tend to be about high-level policy, but they can delve into specifics, Greendeer said. He gave an example related to tribal members who are on probation or parole. 'For example, a topic that keeps coming up is re-entry programming for enrolled tribal member offenders,' Greendeer said. 'A concern discussed at a recent consultation was that probation/parole officers might not consider tribal norms/values, citing a lack of eye contact in saying a client is disengaged or disconnected.' The co-chairs and vice-chairs of the Joint Finance Committee did not respond to requests for comment. DOC communications director Beth Hardtke did not answer a question from the Examiner about the responsibilities and goals of the tribal liaison position.

Trump's pardons have shortchanged fraud victims of millions of dollars in restitution, lawyers say
In April, fresh off a presidential pardon that sprung him from prison, convicted fraudster Jason Galanis embarked on a new and audacious legal fight: an attempt to recover money that he had already paid back his victims. As part of his 2017 sentence, a federal judge ordered Galanis to pay more than $80 million in restitution for his various fraudulent schemes. But when President Donald Trump commuted Galanis' 189-month prison sentence in March as part of a flurry of pardons, Galanis' pardon warrant stipulated that "no further fines [and] restitution" should be collected. Days later, Galanis asked a federal judge to order the government to return some $2 million he had already paid, arguing that because the government had not yet released those funds to his victims, Galanis was entitled to them. MORE: Trump grants clemency to 2 of Hunter Biden's ex-associates "Put very simply, the funds were taken for a particular purpose," attorneys for Galanis wrote last month in a letter to the judge. "It is indisputable that that purpose no longer exists and thus ... the funds must be returned." U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel, the judge overseeing Galanis' case, ruled Wednesday that he cannot recoup the $2 million. But some legal experts say Galanis' bid to retrieve those restitution funds reflects a broader symptom of what they say is Trump's unprecedented use of executive pardon powers. "Typically, the Department of Justice does not recommend a pardon in cases in which the candidate owes a significant amount of restitution ... so these pardons that wipe out large financial obligations are very unusual in their effect," former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer, who is not involved in the case, told ABC News. By Oyer's count, the recipients of Trump's second-term clemency cumulatively owed more than $1 billion in restitution -- money intended for the victims of fraudulent schemes. Instead, according to Oyer, "victims are just out all of the money that they expected to be repaid as part of restitution, due to the pardons." "The victims are the losers," Oyer said. "Those are people who have a legal entitlement under federal law to be repaid their losses ... and the president is overriding that legal requirement ... to the great detriment of people who, in some cases, have lost their life savings." Those victims include a Native American tribe, an Arizona teachers' pension fund, and even a Republican governor. In Galanis' case, prosecutors wrote that the victims of his scheme include "pension funds held for the benefit of, among others, transit workers, longshoremen, housing authority workers, and city employees." The majority of the victims are shareholders in companies like Nikola, whose disgraced founder and chief executive, Trevor Milton, was sentenced to four years in prison for lying about the viability of his electric vehicle technology. Prosecutors had asked a federal judge to order Milton to pay more than $600 million in restitution, which they said was "the approximate amount of damages to investors in this case." Milton was pardoned before a judge had a chance to approve that figure, but experts said judges typically hew closely to prosecutors' calculations. Asked in a local news interview in March whether he would repay the victims of his fraudulent scheme, Milton said he "wouldn't pay them back," but offered an alternative: "I've got a few big ventures I'm working on right now, I'd definitely be open to helping those people in the future." MORE: Trump's flurry of pardons include some to campaign contributors "I'm not heartless," he added. "As a matter of fact, I feel for these people probably more than most." Pardon recipients who owed outstanding restitution at the time they were pardoned include Carlos Watson, the founder and CEO of Ozy Media who pleaded guilty to fraud charges and owed nearly $37 million in restitution, and Ross Ulbricht, the Silk Road founder serving life in prison for an online drug scheme, who was ordered to pay almost $184 million in restitution. Other pardon recipients include Todd and Julie Chrisley, the reality television celebrities sentenced to more than seven years in prison for tax evasion and bank fraud, whose attorney suggested to TMZ that they may seek to recoup some of the $17 million in restitution that they'd already begun to pay. Former Las Vegas councilwoman Michele Fiore, who spent some $70,000 in donations to a slain police officer fund on personal expenses, including cosmetic surgery, was also pardoned. Trump issued Fiore's pardon before her sentencing, but experts say restitution generally aligns with the cost of the purported fraud scheme. Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo, a fellow Republican, testified at trial that he had donated to Fiore's fund and was a victim of her fraud. Another victim, Harry Mohney, a strip club owner who donated $2,000 to the fund, said he was "distressed" to learn that Fiore would not have to pay restitution. MORE: Ed Martin, Trump's DOJ pardon attorney, says he'll review Biden's outgoing pardons "It certainly pisses me off to a great extent," Mohney told ABC News. "It's unfair that she never has to repay the people she got the money from under false pretenses, but there's nothing I can do about that." In a statement to ABC News, White House spokesperson Harrison Fields said that Trump is "using his pardon power to offer people second chances at life." "The Founding Fathers gave the President the pardon power to provide mercy where the President alone deems it necessary," Fields said. Legal experts ABC News spoke with said it's unclear to what extent victims could seek to claim the restitution they're still owed following Trump's pardons. One option would be to file a civil lawsuit to reclaim damages, but that can be a lengthy and expensive proposition. "Restitution makes it so easy -- you don't have to pay a lawyer, you don't have to go to court," said Mark Osler, an expert on clemency at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota. "You can see why that would be a victim's first choice for how to be made whole." Experts who spoke with ABC News struggled to cite past examples of fraudsters who were granted clemency prior to fulfilling their restitution obligations. Oyer said Trump's commutation of restitution payments is without precedent. MORE: Trump issues sweeping pardons and commutations for Jan. 6 rioters "This is not normal," Oyer said. The Justice Department, on its website, cautions fraud victims seeking restitution that "the chance of full recovery is very low," and that "while defendants may make partial payments toward the full restitution owed, it is rare that defendants are able to fully pay the entire restitution amount owed." Nevertheless, experts say that regardless of whether victims ever completely recoup their lost money, restitution obligations remain an important mechanism in the criminal justice system. "One of the purposes of restitution, even if it's never fully repaid, is to ensure that the perpetrator of the crime cannot enrich themselves first, while they still owe money to victims," Oyer explained. "And that's exactly what [Trump's] pardons facilitate happening." Trump's pardons have shortchanged fraud victims of millions of dollars in restitution, lawyers say originally appeared on
