As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, there is no credible information or reports indicating that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has stated he was friends with a shooter involved in any shooting incident. Governor Walz has generally spoken out about gun violence and the need for stronger gun control measures in the aftermath of such events, but there is no public record or statement from him claiming a personal friendship with any shooter.
If this is regarding a specific recent event, I recommend checking reliable news sources for the latest updates, as the situation might have developed after my last update.
