A SUV rammed into protesters in Minneapolis, killing one and injuring another. Then protesters yanked the driver out – By CBS/AP (CBS News) / June 14 2021
A vehicle drove into a group of protesters in Minneapolis late Sunday night, injuring two, and one of them later died at a hospital, police said. The motorist may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol, according to investigators.
The demonstration was the latest in the Uptown neighborhood since a Black man wanted on a firearms possession charge was shot and killed there by law enforcement earlier this month.
Minneapolis police say the were monitoring the protest by camera when the vehicle hit the protesters. Angry demonstrators pulled the driver out and, witnesses said, started hitting him.
When officers got to the scene, they took the driver into custody and brought him a hospital for treatment of his injuries.
