MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) Tensions are high around the Twin Cities Sunday night, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is calling for calm as jurors in the Derek Chauvin trial are expected to be handed the case Monday.
“Minnesotans I think know we can’t go through what we went through in May and June, and those folks who are out there asking for change need to be heard,” Walz said.
Minnesota National Guard members are stationed everywhere throughout the city Sunday. Two guardsmen were injured in a shooting early Sunday morning in north Minneapolis near Penn and Broadway avenues. One guardsman was taken to a local hospital after getting hurt by shattered glass. The other had minor injuries. Officials say several gunshots were fired from a light-colored SUV. One went through the windshield of a Humvee.
