MINNEAPOLIS – The Minneapolis Police Department says a woman was killed and another person was injured after being struck by a car during a protest in the city’s Uptown neighborhood.
Police say the suspect was pulled from his SUV by protesters after the 11:39 p.m. Sunday crash, was taken into custody and was being treated for injuries at a hospital. A witness says the SUV hit a car parked across one of the traffic lanes, and that car then hit people. Police said a preliminary investigation indicated that drugs or alcohol may have been a factor.
There have been ongoing protests in Uptown since the June 3rd shooting death of Winston Boogie Smith Jr by members of a federal U.S. Marshals Service task force.
