Red Flag Laws and the Minneapolis Tragedy | Minneapolis News
Description
A deadly mass shooting in downtown Minneapolis left three dead, including the alleged shooter, Carlton Johnson. As authorities investigate why intervention wasn’t pursued, experts point to Johnson’s history of violence and multiple protection orders — including a June 25 incident where he allegedly threatened someone with a gun. While prosecutors say they lacked sufficient evidence for a red flag order, academics argue they may not have had the full picture. Both legal experts agree this case underscores the lifesaving potential of red flag laws — which carry minimal risk to pursue and could have prevented tragedy.
