BCA confirms incident of police use of force in Minneapolis

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said it is investigating an incident involving police use of force in south Minneapolis on Wednesday evening.

The BCA did not immediately confirm where it happened, but Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez said in a post on X that it was in the area of ​​34th Street and Hiawatha Avenue, and spoke of a possible shooting based on reports from community members.

Just before 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Metro Transit announced that Blue Line train service would be suspended between Franklin Avenue Station and 46th Street Station “due to police activity.” “Blue Line trains will reverse direction at these stations. Until the situation is resolved, trains will not operate to 38th St Station or Lake St Station,” Metro Transit’s warning said.
