Woman Killed and Others Injured at Minneapolis Protests

The city’s weary police department faces continuing unrest.

One adult woman was left dead and three bystanders were injured after an SUV ploughed into a crowd of protesters standing in the dark along Lake Street and Girard Avenue in Minneapolis’s Uptown area late Sunday night.

While the driver’s motive is still unclear, a Minneapolis police news release indicated that drugs or alcohol may have been a factor in the crash. The man’s identity has not been released, but he was immediately arrested and taken into custody, Minneapolis police tweeted.
