As part of the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office Safer Hennepin Initiative, our Violent Offender Task Force has been working closely with Minneapolis Police, ATF and other state and federal agencies as part of a larger multiagency initiative known as the Greater Minneapolis Violent Crime Initiative.

On 07/27/2022, law enforcement participating in these initiatives were working a preplanned Focused Enforcement Detail in Minneapolis and received information regarding a large gathering in Sipe Park located in Osseo.

Investigators learned that numerous individuals with affiliations to gangs were attending the gathering and were in possession of firearms. In addition, residents in the area had made several complaints about drugs and loud noise coming from those gathered at the park.

Law enforcement personnel participating in these initiatives responded to the park to assist Osseo Police and address the community’s concerns. Law enforcement arrested 5 people and recovered 8 handguns, 3 of which had fully automatic switches on them. 

The incident remains under investigation and no further information is available at this time.
