Source: Minneapolis Police Department open data, counted by the date the offense occurred, through October 11, 2026. Weeks run Monday to Sunday. The comparison week a year earlier is 52 weeks back, so weekdays line up. Offenses are counted as MPD counts them and exclude shots-fired calls, gunshot wound victims and subset rows. Reported crimes only. See the methodology. Cite as: Glass on the Street, "Minneapolis crime, week of October 5-11, 2026," https://glassonthestreet.com/weekly/2026-10-05, accessed October 12, 2026.
