The Minnestoa Bureau of Criminal Apprehension on Thursday named veteran Dale Henry Spry, 63, and Muse A. Afrah, 61, as the victims who were killed. The suspected shooter also killed himself. Six others were injured, including three Minneapolis police officers. Authorities said they believed both of the deceased individuals lived at the apartment complex.
