An independent evaluator will review the law enforcement response to June lawmaker shooting

An independent evaluator will spend the next several months reviewing the law enforcement response to the shootings of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. Several law enforcement agencies in the state requested the review and said they want analysis of what worked, and what they could have done better.

Minneapolis police have arrested two teens suspected of carjacking Minneapolis City Council member Jamal Osman earlier this week. Police say the teens threatened Osman while he was parked near a Lake Street coffee shop, then took his car. Police discovered and arrested them shortly after. In the aftermath, Osman is calling on parents and the city to better support youth.
