Another Officer Involved Death in Minnesota
Minneapolis erupted in looting and riots late Sunday after
an officer fatally shot a man during a traffic stop just 10 miles from where Derek Chauvin had
George Floyd pinned to the pavement last May.
The Minnesota National Guard was activated to quell what devolved into violent demonstrations over the fatal officer-involved shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright earlier Sunday in the city of Brooklyn Center, located in Hennepin County on the border of Minneapolis.

A citywide curfew was issued by Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott until 6 a.m. CT Monday. About 500 people had gathered overnight outside of a police precinct in the city and clashed with officers.
