Authorities in Minneapolis are investigating after a body was found Monday evening in the Mississippi River. The Minneapolis Fire Department says crews responded around 7:30 p.m. to a report of a body on the shoreline of the West Bank, just south of the Franklin Avenue bridge. Firefighters in a boat located the body about three feet from the shoreline. A water patrol team from Hennepin County was then called in and took over the investigation. No details about the deceased have been released.
