The Hennepin County attorney's office says Delonte Ahshone Thomas of Minneapolis has been arrested in connection with the July 9 shooting in which three women were shot 25 times. All three women survived.

Thomas faces three counts of attempted second-degree murder and three counts of first-degree assault.
