Minnesota Today: Documents reveal Mpls police rooftop snipers shot and killed Andrew Tekle Sundberg

The Minneapolis police officers who shot and killed 20-year-old Andrew Tekle Sundberg after a standoff yesterday morning were snipers positioned on a building across the street. That's according to search warrants filed in Hennepin County court. The warrants also say investigators at the scene found evidence that bullets were fired through the walls of Sundberg's apartment out into the hallway and into an apartment across the hall. However, they do not say why the officers chose to fire at Sundberg following the standoff.
