DULUTH, MN — June 14, 2025 — A deadly shooting early Saturday morning has left a Duluth community in mourning and two individuals in custody, as authorities swiftly moved to investigate and apprehend those responsible.
Around 1:30 a.m., Duluth Police were called to the 100 block of East 3rd Street following reports of multiple gunshots.
