Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Sunday, September 7, 2025. We greet you today under clear skies and a chilly start, about 51 degrees right now. We can expect plenty of sunshine throughout the day, pairing up nicely with outdoor events and Sunday routines. Temperatures will inch up into the low 70s, so this is a great chance for walks around Lake Harriet, a visit to local parks, or swinging by your favorite patio for brunch.Turning first to breaking news, Minneapolis remains shaken following last week’s tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. The last hospitalized victim, young Lydia Kaiser, was released yesterday afternoon. Lydia is hailed as a hero for shielding another student during the attack. The community continues to support the victims’ families through fundraisers, and just last night, a youth group in Massapequa, New York, held a bracelet sale to help with financial aid. Meanwhile, students from dozens of schools across the metro organized a walkout Friday, calling for stronger safety measures and action on gun laws.Our hearts are also heavy after an armed carjacking rampage earlier this week that claimed the lives of two women and injured a child near Franklin Avenue. The suspect, Edward Arrington, now faces federal charges and could spend the rest of his life behind bars. Minneapolis Police Chief O’Hara, speaking near Hennepin Avenue, emphasized the need for lasting solutions to violent crime and expressed gratitude to community safety partners.On a brighter note, Minneapolis boasts plenty of music and arts this week. The Twin Cities Pagan Pride Fall Festival drew crowds yesterday at Minnehaha Falls Park, celebrating local culture and community through music and vendor showcases. K-pop fans flooded the Saint Paul RiverCentre yesterday for the first-ever KPOPMINNECON, a lively day of performances, workshops, and dance competitions. For those looking ahead, The Cedar Cultural Center welcomes Bruce Henry and Dean Magraw on Thursday, mixing storytelling and acoustic music rooted in Black history. Extreme Noise Records hosts a one-night-only show next weekend with Tokyo legends LiFE, bringing together punk fans from all over the Midwest.In city hall updates, there’s ongoing work to address public safety, support youth programming, and streamline community services. Budget talks are happening this month, with councilmembers aiming to sustain services without raising property taxes to help homeowners in neighborhoods like Powderhorn, Nokomis, and Northeast. The local job market shows steady improvement, with about 1,200 new postings last week across healthcare, food service, and education. Real estate remains competitive: the average home price sits around 410,000 dollars, but affordable units are opening up in the Phillips and Whittier neighborhoods, giving hope to first-time buyers.Athletic pride remains high after Minneapolis South High’s girls soccer team clinched a big win Friday night, and several local schools celebrate state fair project awards in STEM and art. On the feel-good side, we want to share the story of a man at Target Field who caught a homerun ball and gifted it to a young boy, bringing smiles to all around—proving how everyday moments can lift spirits even in tough times.As always, stay alert and look out for each other as our city continues to heal, grow, and shine.
