Minneapolis police are investigating two mass shootings in less than 24 hours . 
Nine people were shot early Sunday morning outside an Uptown nightclub, MPR News reports . 
Two of the victims were hospitalized with potentially life-threatening injuries but both were expected to survive, police said. 
Fewer details were available this morning from a Sunday night shooting near East 19th Street and Nicollet Avenue, but police confirmed to KARE 11 that five adults were shot in the incident. 
ProPublica and the Star Tribune continue their investigation into child sexual abuse in the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church , where “a culture of normalized sexual abuse” spanned generations as victims went on to abuse others. 
The Trump administration has stopped briefing state election officials on election security threats, leaving them with gaps to fill on their own. 
“You can’t just buy that off the shelf,” Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon tells Vote Beat . 
“You can’t hire a private vendor to give you a U.S. government-grade intelligence assessment.” 
ICYMI: On the heels of Trump’s endorsement of MyPillow guy Mike Lindell, the Star Tribune reports that the Republican candidate for governor isn’t registered to vote in Minnesota . 
Look for the helpers: As wildfires continue to displace or threaten thousands of people in northeastern Minnesota, WCCO talks with a new community response group helping campers and residents. 
Also: MPR News has a round up of ways you can help . 
In the Twin Cities, dozens of St. 
Louis Park households were displaced by a large apartment building fire Friday night that destroyed 90 units and left many others damaged by smoke , KSTP reports . 
Ant confirms Wolves are still long shots for LeBron: Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards tells ESPN ( via Star Tribune ) that he has LeBron James’ top three teams “and we not in it.” 
And finally, the smoke and heat continues. 
MPR’s Updraft blog notes that if we hit 90 again today, the current hot streak will be the third longest run of 90-degree days in the Twin Cities and the longest since 1948.
