Transcript details panicked call from Sundberg’s neighbor

A 911 transcript released by the city of Minneapolis Monday afternoon documents the dramatic minutes after Andrew Tekle Sundberg allegedly fired a weapon into his neighbor’s apartment. 

Sundberg, known by friends and loved ones as Tekle, his Ethiopian name, was shot to death by police snipers after a six-hour standoff early Thursday morning in the Seward neighborhood. The city has not yet made police body camera footage of the shooting public.
 
During the 911 call, a woman later identified as Arabella Foss-Yarbrough, told dispatchers that at least two bullets had been fired through her apartment and gone straight through the wall. She said one of the bullets may have grazed her, although she told the dispatcher she wasn’t bleeding.
 
What else we're watching:
Some GOP lawmakers face primary challenge from the right. As Minnesota’s primary election on Aug. 9 nears, some Republican lawmakers are facing unexpected challenges from candidates who don’t think they’re conservative enough. 

South Minneapolis man paves the way for accessibility in the city. If you think Minneapolis sidewalks are looking better these days, you have one man to thank. Michael Sack is a 32-year-old south Minneapolis resident, and he’s quietly becoming one of the city’s leading voices in accessibility issues and disability activism. His work is helping a lot of different people. Producer Gretchen Brown talked with Sack about his work. 

Rare in US for an active shooter to be stopped by bystander. A bystander's decision to shoot a man who opened fire at an Indiana mall was a rare occurrence of someone stepping in to try to prevent multiple casualties before police could arrive.
