| Good afternoon! Expect a breezy evening, with a good chance of drizzle. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the low 60s. Mourners on Thursday afternoon paid their last respects to Philando Castile, who was shot and killed by a St. Anthony police officer during a traffic stop last week. Pallbearers carried the casket out at the end of the service as members of the crowd called out, "United for Philando." Roughly 1,000 people could be seen walking with the procession down Selby Avenue. Photo Gallery | Forecast |
