Students streamed out of schools across Minnesota on Monday afternoon to protest racial injustice, in a coordinated action that coincided with closing arguments in the murder trial of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer charged with killing George Floyd.
At 1:47 p.m., students held a moment of silence for Daunte Wright, a 20-year old Black man who was fatally shot last week by a police officer in Brooklyn Center, Minn., about 10 miles from the courthouse where Mr. Chauvin is on trial.

Knox County School Security Chief Gus Paidousis, in car, speaks with others at the scene of a shooting at Austin-East High School in Knoxville, Tenn. on Monday, April 12, 2021.
Police have shared few details about what happened when police entered the bathroom, and one key part of the story already has changed. After initial reports to the contrary, police now say it wasn't a bullet from Thompson's gun that hit a Knoxville police officer. 
Without telling the community the circumstances around how the teen was killed, rumors have filled the void.

In wake of gun violence, Nashville school leaders ask lawmakers to act


That shooting was one of three deadly shootings across the state Monday. The first left a mother and her adult daughter dead in Lebanon in the morning and a third shooting left three injured and a child dead in the streets of North Nashville in the evening. 
The violent 24 hours caught national attention and now has school board members calling on Gov. Bill Lee, Tennessee lawmakers and other elected officials to "protect our children." 
"Firearms are the leading cause of death among children in Tennessee. We have an average of 105 children die every year from guns — 60% of those are homicides." Pupo-Walker said before turning her ire to the governor's recent successful push to legalize permitless carry.
