He was shot after he jumped back into his car and tried to flee, crashing several blocks away, police said.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of protesters gathered, looting and trashing some 20 stores, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startribune.com\/brooklyn-center-police-fatally-shoot-man-20-inflaming-tensions-during-the-derek-chauvin-trial\/600044821\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according<\/a> to the Star Tribune.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolice used tear gas, flash bangs and rubber bullets on the crowd,\u201d said the paper. \u201cNational Guard troops arrived just before midnight as looters targeted the Brooklyn Center Walmart and nearby shopping mall. Several businesses around the Walmart were completely destroyed, including Foot Locker, T Mobile, and a New York men\u2019s clothing store.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The looting spread across&nbsp;Minneapolis, with stores in Uptown also being looted.<\/p>\n<p>Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott ordered a curfew order until 6 a.m. Monday and all school buildings were shut down. More National Guard members are set to arrive Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur entire community is filled with grief following today\u2019s officer-involved shooting of Daunte Wright, a 20 year old young man. Our hearts are with his family, and with all those in our community impacted by this tragedy,\u201d Elliott said. \u201cWhile we await additional information from the BCA [Bureau of Criminal Apprehension] who is leading the investigation, we continue to ask that members of our community gathering do so peacefully, amid our calls for transparency and accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz wrote on Twitter that he was \u201cclosely monitoring the situation\u201d and \u201cpraying for Daunte Wright\u2019s family as our state mourns another life of a Black man taken by law enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrooklyn Center Police Department officers initiated a stop for a traffic violation,\u201d the police wrote in a press release. \u201cOfficers determined that the driver of the vehicle had an outstanding warrant. At one point as officers were attempting to take the driver into custody, the driver re-entered the vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne officer discharged their firearm, striking the driver,\u201d the police said. \u201cThe vehicle traveled several blocks before striking another vehicle,\u201d the police press release explains. \u201cOfficers in pursuit and responding medical personnel attempted life saving measures, but the person died at the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At a press conference early Monday morning, Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington detailed how protesters swarmed the area, jumping on top of police cars and throwing rocks and bottles at police. Marchers also descended upon the Brooklyn Center Police Department building.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProtesters pushed past police tape and confronted officers donning riot gear. Around 7:15 p.m., the crowd broke the windshields of two squad cars and police fired nonlethal rounds to try to disperse the crowd,\u201d the Star Tribune reported. \u201cBy 8:30 p.m., the remaining crowd gathered to light candles, burn sage and write messages in chalk on the street near the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The paper also interviewed Wright\u2019s mother, Katie Wright, who \u201ctearfully pleaded near the scene Sunday afternoon for more information and for her son\u2019s body to be moved from the street. She also urged the protesters to remain peaceful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
