Minneapolis police: one killed near protest scene

Protests rocked Minneapolis for the second straight night Wednesday after a man's death in police custody.

One person was killed in what police were investigating as a homicide amidst violence that included looting and setting fires.

Minneapolis Police Director of Communication says officers performed CPR and First Aid on the victim, close to the scene of the protests.

John Elder said that "two officers arrived, one began CPR immediately while the other officer really kind of held the scene and ensured safety. This was close to the area of protests. And there were a number of people that were there that were not cooperating with officers."

Elder added that the man was pronounced dead at Hennepin County Medical Center, and that a suspect in the shooting was taken into custody.

The protests began outside the police precinct in the part of the city where 46-year-old George Floyd died on Memorial Day.

Four Minneapolis officers were fired after video footage showed one of them kneeling on the handcuffed Floyd's neck until he became unresponsive.
