Fireworks were discharged outside Brooklyn Center Police Department in Minnesota on April 13 as demonstrations over the death of Daunte Wright continued for a third consecutive night.

Protests began in Brooklyn Center after a police officer fatally shot Wright during a traffic stop on April 11. Police Chief Tim Gannon described the shooting as an “accidental discharge”, saying to reporters that the officer in question drew a handgun instead of a Taser.
