NAACP Calls For Probe After St. Paul Police Shoot, Kill Man
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - St. Paul police say a man drove his vehicle at officers before he was fatally shot by police.
Police responded about 2:00 a.m. Wednesday to a complaint that a man was texting death threats to a woman. Police say multiple shots were fired, and the man died at the scene.
It's not clear whether the suspect was armed.
In a tweet, St. Paul police said police recovered a firearm at the scene. But police did not say whether the gun belonged to the suspect.
Officers are canvassing the area in search of witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to call police.
The NAACP is calling for an independent investigation into the shooting.
