Gun arrest at Minneapolis City Hall

There's been another gun arrest at Minneapolis City Hall.

Police say they arrested a man who walked into City Hall Tuesday with a gun.

The 60-year-old Big Lake man tried to persuade officers that he was part of an undercover government operation. He was arrested at gunpoint.

Just last April, police locked down City Hall as they searched for man who reportedly picked up a gun stashed in some planters. Those planters have now been removed and signs banning guns have been put up.
