Crowds vandalized buildings and stores in a Minneapolis neighborhood after a man suspected of illegal gun possession was fatally shot by authorities.
Crews remove concrete barriers and other items from a Minneapolis intersection that had become a memorial to Floyd. Activists fight to save the space.
A spokeswoman with the Marshals Service said the agency led the task force. Other agencies with personnel at the scene of the shooting include sheriff’s offices from Hennepin, Anoka and Ramsey counties; the Minnesota Department of Corrections; and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The U.S. Marshals said a woman who was in the vehicle was treated for minor injuries from glass debris.
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, an aerial view of the top level of the parking ramp where Thursday’s shooting reportedly occurred showed a silver sports utility vehicle with a shattered back window. It was surrounded by many other vehicles near a white pop-up tent. Several officers were nearby and in a glass-enclosed stairwell.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives both tweeted that they were helping to investigate. The Marshals Service said the state BCA is leading the investigation.
