The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension on Monday confirmed the identity of the heavily armed man police encountered during the six-hour standoff as Shannon Cortez Gooden, 38.
Gooden also died in the incident. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner issued a report early Tuesday saying he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Court records show Gooden was ineligible to own firearms and tried unsuccessfully to regain his gun rights in 2020. | |

| | Through fufu and sambusas, Rochester students counter misinformed ideas about Africa |
As part of our Talking Sense series, correspondent Catharine Richert visited John Marshall High School where the Black Student Union is using Spirit Day, movie nights and lots of food to help students expand their cultural knowledge about Africa.
African and African American students are sometimes viewed by their white peers as a monolithic group with identical life experiences because of the color of their skin, said School Equity Specialist Rodney Sharp, who has been helping the Black Student Union with their programming.
“A lot of people from the outside just see their skin color,” said Sharp. “And they say, ‘Oh, they must be African American,’ when a lot of the Africans are like, ‘Well, don’t take away from our culture, and say that we’re African Americans.’” | |
