Video (02:18) : Protesters said at least two gunmen opened fire just outside of the Plymouth Ave. encampment. 
 
 Five protesters were shot late Monday night near the Black Lives Matter encampment at the Fourth Precinct police station in north Minneapolis, according to police. 
 
 Those who were shot sustained non-life-threatening injuries, said police spokesman John Elder in a statement. 
 
 Miski Noor, a media contact for Black Lives Matter, said “a group of white supremacists showed up at the protest, as they have done most nights.” 
 
 One of the three men wore a mask, said Dana Jaehnert, who had been at the protest site since early evening. 
 
 When about a dozen protesters attempted to herd the group away from the area, Noor said, they “opened fire on about six protesters,” hitting five of them. Jaehnert said she heard four gunshots. 
 
 The shootings occurred at 10:45 p.m. on Morgan Avenue N. about a block north of the precinct station.

 The attackers fled. No arrests had been made by midnight Monday. Police said via their Twitter feed that they are searching for three white male suspects. 
 
 The gunshot victims were taken to North Memorial Medical Center and Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC), deputy police chief Medaria Arradondo said at the scene. 
 
 A person at the scene said one of the victims had been shot in the stomach, and was undergoing surgery overnight at HCMC. 
 
 Jie Wronski-Riley said angry protesters moved the men away from the encampment at the police station. Wronski-Riley heard what sounded like firecrackers and thought, “surely they’re not shooting human beings.” Two young black men on either side of him were hit, one in the back and leg, the other in the arm. 
 
 At least two of the three men who had been taunting protesters were firing guns, said Wronski-Riley, who described the incident as “really chaotic, really fast.” 
 
 “I am obviously appalled that white supremacists would open fire on nonviolent, peaceful protesters,” said Nekima Levy-Pounds, president of the Minneapolis chapter of the NAACP, who returned to the site after the shootings. 
 
 The protesters, angry over the fatal police shooting of 24-year-old Jamar Clark on Nov. 15, have maintained a presence outside the police station ever since. 
 
 Eddie Sutton, Jamar’s brother, issued this statement early Tuesday morning in response to the shootings: 
 
 “Thank you to the community for the incredible support you have shown for our family in this difficult time. We appreciate Black Lives Matter for holding it down and keeping the protests peaceful. But in light of tonight’s shootings, the family feels out of imminent concern for the safety of the occupiers, we must get the occupation of the 4th precinct ended and onto the next step.”

 The shootings occurred late Monday night about a block from the police department's 4th Precinct, where protesters have been demonstrating since the shooting of 24-year-old Jamar Clark on Nov. 15. 
 
 Police Department Spokesman John Elder said in a news release that officers responded to the sound of gunshots around 10:40 p.m. and 911 calls shortly after reported five people had been shot. Dozens of officers assisted victims and secure the scene, the statement said. 
 
 Elder said three victims were taken to a hospital in a private vehicle, and two were transported by ambulance. All had injuries that were not life-threatening. Mica Grimm, an organizer with Black Lives Matter who said she arrived on the scene soon after the shooting, said two of the wounded were hit in the leg, another in the arm and a fourth in the stomach. 
 
 It wasn't immediately clear what prompted the shooting or how many suspects police were searching for. No one was in custody, and police are interviewing witnesses and ask that anyone with information come forward, the statement said. 
 
 Oluchi Omeoga, who has been participating in protests since last Monday, witnessed the incident. 
 
 Protesters saw three people wearing masks who "weren't supposed to be there," Omeoga said. Eventually, the three people left the crowd and began walking down the street, and a few protesters followed. When they reached a corner, the three people pulled out weapons and gunshots rang out, Omeoga said. 
 
 The scene early Tuesday was quiet, with about 200 people milling around and talking. Campfires were lit for warmth amid freezing temperatures. One man with a bullhorn led protesters in chants of "Jamar Clark!" 
 
 Clark's family, in a statement attributed to his brother Eddie Sutton and issued through U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison's office, thanked protesters for "the incredible support" they have shown the family. 
 
 "But in light of tonight's shootings, the family feels out of imminent concern for the safety of the occupiers, we must get the occupation of the 4th precinct ended and onto the next step," the statement said. 
 
 Black Lives Matter had previously planned to announce "next steps" on Tuesday morning following a weekend meeting with community members about strategy. 
 
 Authorities have said Clark was shot during a struggle with police after he interfered with paramedics who were trying to assist an assault victim. But some people who said they saw the shooting allege Clark was handcuffed. 
 
 Protesters and Clark's family have been calling for investigators to release video of the shooting. The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said it has video from the ambulance, a mobile police camera and other sources, but none of it shows the event in its entirety. The agency, which is conducting a state investigation, said releasing the footage now would taint its investigation. 
 
 A federal criminal civil rights investigation is also underway to determine whether police intentionally violated Clark's civil rights through excessive force.

– Minneapolis cops are seeking three white male suspects after a Monday night shooting that injured five near a "Black Lives Matter" protest outside the Fourth Precinct police station, reports the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Per Black Lives Matter rep Miski Noor, "a group of white supremacists showed up at the protest, as they have done most nights." The New York Times cites witness reports that the suspects—some say two white men and one Asian man—were masked; bystanders claim the trio was wearing bulletproof vests, and Noor says one man was "shouting the n-word," per the New York Daily News. She notes the group "opened fire on about six protesters" after they tried to move the group away. The suspects fled, and a police rep says the five victims were taken to local hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries. "I am obviously appalled that white supremacists would open fire on nonviolent, peaceful protesters," the Minneapolis NAACP president tells the Star Tribune. The protesters have camped out in front of the police station since the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Jamar Clark earlier this month, the Star Tribune notes. But while the interloping group reportedly made previous appearances, a community activist describes the scene as becoming "really chaotic, really fast" and notes that when he heard what sounded like firecrackers, he thought, "Surely they're not shooting human beings." The Minneapolis chapter of Black Lives Matter has renounced the shootings as "white supremacist terrorism," per the Daily News. Meanwhile, in a statement issued through Rep. Keith Ellison's office, Clark's brother thanked those who've supported his family, but notes that "in light of [the] shootings, the family feels out of imminent concern for the safety of the occupiers, we must get the occupation of the 4th precinct ended and onto the next step," the AP reports.
