MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A downtown Minneapolis building has been evacuated Friday afternoon after a threat was made against the M & I Bank, according to witnesses at the scene.
Witnesses say a man entered the M & I Bank in the Gaviidae Commons in downtown Minneapolis and made threats. The bank is located near the intersection of 6th Street and Nicollet Avenue.
Friday morning, a man came to the WCCO-TV studios at 11th Street and Nicollet Avenue and asked to speak with a reporter but was turned away. Shortly thereafter, a man believed to be the same man from before called WCCO-TV and asked again to speak with a reporter and said if his story wasn’t heard, WCCO-TV would hear about it.
At around the same time, people were evacuated from the Gaviidae Commons Building. At this time, it’s not known if there is a connection between the two incidents.
