A crowd gathered Wednesday night at the scene of a police-involved shooting in Falcon Heights involving St. Anthony police officers.
A man was shot by police in Falcon Heights on Wednesday evening. In a video posted on Facebook, the man’s girlfriend says the “police shot him for no apparent reason, no reason at all.”
The woman started the video with the man slumped next to her, his white T-shirt soaked with blood.. In the video, taken with her phone,
she says they were pulled over at Larpenteur Avenue and Fry Street for a broken taillight.
The officer “asked him for license and registration,” she says. “He told him that it was in his wallet, but he had a pistol on him because he’s licensed to carry. The officer said don’t move. As he was putting his hands back up, the officer shot him in the arm four or five times.”
The video shows a uniformed police officer holding a pistol on the couple from outside the car. The officer can be heard to say, “I told him not to reach for it. I told him to get his hand out.”
The woman says in the video that her boyfriend was shot by a Roseville police officer; in the video, several cities’ squad cars are visible but it wasn’t possible tell which cities they were from.
The 10-minute video shows the woman being ordered from her car by several police officers and later placed in the back of squad car in handcuffs.
“Please don’t tell me my boyfriend’s gone,” she says. ”He don’t deserve this, please. He works for St. Paul Public Schools. He’s never been in jail, anything. He’s not a gang member, anything.”
The victim was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center. His condition was unknown, said Sgt. J
on Mangseth, interim chief of St. Anthony Police Department. Mangseth said the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has been called in to investigate.
