Minnesota Businesses Looted After Fatal Police Shooting of Daunte Wright

Looters ransacked several businesses in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, on April 11, following the death of Daunte Wright in a police shooting earlier in the day.

Police announced an investigation into the incident on Sunday, according to local media. A police statement said Wright was stopped for a traffic violation and was shot by an officer after re-entering the vehicle when officers tried to arrest him over an unrelated outstanding warrant. Wright was pronounced dead after his vehicle had traveled several blocks.
