He said his right arm was also numb at the time. He was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center and a CT scan showed he had a fractured skull and brain bleed. The area where the bullet struck him controlled the right side of his body and it was why he could not feel his arm. Officers found a second victim, who had been shot in the upper leg and thigh area.

Investigators later found the weapon, a Glock 17 that had been converted to fire as an automatic weapon. Shortly after, they arrested Said. Investigators are still determining whether he was inside the arena during the graduation ceremony. He remains in custody.

Over 200 Hennepin County physicians certified as first to unionize in Minnesota
Around 250 doctors at Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) have been certified as the first unionized resident and fellow physicians in Minnesota, according to union officials. The physicians are represented by the Committee of Interns and Residents, a local of the Service Employees International Union (CIR/SEIU), who said the Minnesota Bureau of Mediation Services made the certification on April 3. Officials say doctors leading the organizing effort will be calling on Hennepin Healthcare to begin negotiations for a first contract. The union says physicians are dealing with long work hours and insufficient pay and benefits. "Hennepin residents and fellows treat many patients facing structural inequities in care, including folks without insurance, working class patients of color, immigrant patients and Native American patients traveling from reservations," union officials said in a release on Thursday. "Physicians say winning a fair contract will help ensure that Hennepin can attract doctors who reflect the diversity of the patients they serve." WCCO has reached out to Hennepin Healthcare for comment but has not heard back. Last month, nearly 1,000 University of Minnesota doctors filed for union recognition with CIR/SEIU. The union represents more than 37,000 interns, residents and fellows in 10 states and Washington, D.C.

Apple Valley man arrested in fatal Bloomington hit-and-run
An Apple Valley man has been arrested after police believe he fatally struck a 21-year-old in Bloomington with his SUV on Thursday night shortly after the two met up to complete a sale of unknown goods. Officers about 8:45 p.m. were sent to the 8300 block of 11th Avenue, a residential neighborhood on the city's east side, on a call of an injured person lying in the street. They found a man with critical injuries and medics transported him to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, said Bloomington Deputy Police Chief Kim Clauson. Witnesses told police the victim had been talking with someone who was in a vehicle, Clauson said. When the witnesses heard yelling, they went outside and saw the vehicle was gone and the man lying injured in the street. Further investigation led officers to determine the victim had met with the 21-year-old suspect 'possibly to sell the suspect some unknown items,' police said. Police made the arrest early Friday in Apple Valley, Clauson said, adding that Hennepin County prosecutors are considering charges.
