Carlton Johnson ambushed Minneapolis police officers on the ninth floor of an apartment building after killing two people and wounding three others earlier during a child custody handoff gone wrong outside the building. Video released by the city shows Officer Joseph Michnowski and Yahye Mahmed Ahmed being shot while pursuing Johnson; both were injured but survived. Johnson was later killed by police. The incident began when he allegedly wounded a woman and two building employees before moving to the ninth floor, where he fatally shot two residents. Building owners had been trying to evict Johnson due to previous threatening behavior.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
