But what witnesses describe as two gunshots and a short "scuffle" just before 5 p.m. Wednesday broke the genial mood on the corner of 7th Street and Hennepin Avenue, leaving one man injured and another in police custody.

I would never describe 7th & Hennepin as "genial" :? :? :? no matter the time of day

Seems we are missing some necessary information. We go from a man and a woman on a stroll to the strollee getting a felony charge after a meeting with 3 individuals.

Article said he fired on the perp as he was running away. So that may have gotten him the charge. Hopefully the turd that was ventilated gets some charges too.

Just shows how much research they do before they report.

My first post, sorry no introduction. I read the forums pretty regularly but don't reply. I hear constantly from the media and pretty much everyone I talk to... conceal carry permit, also most Armslist ads. It just a small example of how uneducated people are on such an important matter.

It’s only important to a very small percentage of the people who actually have permits. To most people with permits and all people without permits, almost nothing could be less important. They are just words, they can’t hurt you.

"It just kind of happened all of a sudden," said Courtney Bivens, who saw the entire incident unfold. "There was a little scuffle, so that caught my attention, and when I looked up I saw a guy pull out a weapon."

The question, then, is whether that "little scuffle" justified deadly force.

I wouldn't presume to state an opinion on way or the other, except that clearly the Strib doesn't have its competent writers working weekends.
A man who told police he has a permit to carry, later identified as 43-year-old Kevin Martin, was walking with another woman in the area

Who was the first woman?

There is surprisingly little info about this. I couldn't even find an article on this in the Strib.
