A 24-year-old man was charged Wednesday with murder and attempted murder in the mass shooting outside a downtown Minneapolis nightclub over the weekend that left two people dead and seven wounded in a brief but furious gun battle.

On Monday, the two people fatally shot outside the Monarch club in the 300 block of N. 1st Avenue were identified as Christopher R. Jones Jr., 24, of Brooklyn Park and Charlie B. Johnson, 21, of Golden Valley.
