This area near Hwy 7 and Blake has been getting worse. Hopkins needs to keep the gangbangers in Minneapolis.
Hopkins brought a lot of these problems on itself, by building low income housing and not making a stand to keep the criminals out.

This isn't by Blake. It's between 12th and Hopkins Crossroads.

@ Mike the low income housing has been there for many year and all bangers don't belong in mpls NORTH OR SOUTH! No one said said it was a gang related shooting so listen or learn how to read before you just push this off on some gang thing. My family members lived at Brentwood Park Townhomes for many years over 10 and never had any problems like this.I hope that the person shot is well and they can catch the drive by shooters in the white car! Maybe that mike guys knows something above my post?
