A person was shot at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis on the anniversary of his death

• One person was shot at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis on Tuesday.
• Tuesday is the first anniversary of George Floyd's murder, and people were gathered at the site.
• The person shot was treated for an injury that appeared not to be life-threatening, police said.

Gunfire broke out at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis on Tuesday, the first anniversary of Floyd's death, a spokesperson for the Minneapolis Police Department said.

Police responded to the 3800 block of Elliott Avenue South - a pedestrian square that marks the scene where Floyd was killed a year ago - on a report of the sound of shots fired. Police learned from witnesses that a suspect was seen fleeing the area in a car at a high rate of speed, said John Elder, an MPD spokesperson.

Soon after, a person arrived at the Abbott Northwestern Hospital with a gunshot wound. The victim has been transported to Hennepin County Medical Center for treatment. The injury didn't appear life-threatening, Elder said.

The BBC's Barbara Plett Usher tweeted that it was "unclear" what exactly happened, but that unknown gunmen fired into the square, and local patrol shot back.

She said people on the scene had been given the "all clear."

Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after Derek Chauvin, a Minneapolis police officer, knelt on his neck for nine minutes during an arrest. Chauvin has since been convicted of his murder.
