A Dollar Tree store has been looted, vandalized and set on fire as Brooklyn Center sees a second night of rioting in the wake of the shooting death of Daunte Wright.
The 20-year-old Black man was shot after a traffic stop on Sunday and pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting has since been described by Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon as "an accidental discharge" and the officer involved was placed on administrative leave.
"Smoke is billowing out of the Dollar Tree. Bystanders are yelling 'Is there anybody in there? Get out of there.'," Minnesota Star Tribune reporter Liz Sawyer tweeted about 10:30 p.m. local time on Monday. "This is going to engulf in minutes."
Watch as this MSNBC reporter, pretending to be down for the struggle, gets called out as fake news by one of the protesters.
