A standoff with an armed man outside a shopping center in Rochester on Thursday afternoon ended with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
“We continued to try to ask him to surrender himself peacefully … later on we discovered the individual deceased of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. At this time, we’ve frozen the scene and we are completely turning it over to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for their investigation,” Rochester Police Chief Jim Franklin said. “My absolute condolences to the deceased’s family.” | |

| Minneapolis council members insert millions for non-police based public safety in 2024 budget
|
On Thursday members of the Minneapolis City Council discussed and approved the use of millions of dollars to support public safety initiatives in 2024 that will rely on unarmed civilians in busy corridors of the city.
That effort was one of nearly two dozen amendments which came before the council as they offered amendments to the mayor’s proposed $1.8 million 2024 budget. The process will continue Friday, as members consider the rest of the total 48 proposed amendments to the budget. | |
