Officials release more details on police shooting that left one man dead
Interim MPD Chief Amelia Huffman offered only limited details about the circumstances, but said SWAT officers gained entry to the seventh-floor of the downtown high-rise using a wireless key fob and loudly and repeatedly called out police “search warrant” as they entered.

About nine seconds in, officers encountered the man, who was holding a handgun, and “shots were fired." A statement by the city Wednesday afternoon said the gun was pointed at police.

Documents released by the city of Minneapolis late in the day offered new, key details. Among them:
  • The warrant was at one point considered a “high risk entry” and the entry involved “no noise expected,” according to dispatch data;
  • A city fire department report said the man killed suffered two gunshot wounds to his chest and one to his wrist;
  • The city identified the officer involved in the shooting as Mark Hanneman.
The warrant was tied to an ongoing investigation into the Jan. 10 killing of a 38-year-old St. Paul man. Read the latest reporting on the shooting here by Tim Nelson and Jon Collins.
 
Soon, you can learn Ojibwe language through an app
The reality that skills and knowledge in Ojibwe were in danger of being lost has brought a new sense of urgency to the band’s ongoing efforts to preserve the language.

The Mille Lacs Band partnered with the language software company Rosetta Stone to develop a series of Ojibwe courses accessible by computer or smartphone. The program can be used by teachers in a school classroom, or by adults who want to learn on their own, no matter what their level of experience is.

The program will be free to all band members and their descendants. Non-band members will have access to the courses for a $100 fee, with proceeds going to the band.
What else we're watching:
In the wake of the recent violence, state lawmakers pledge to work together on public safety.  But the divided Legislature has competing proposals, and for now, there’s little talk about any new restrictions on guns.
