Gov. Mark Dayton joins protesters’ press conf outside Residence
Governor Mark Dayton is asking that the U-S Justice Department begin an immediate investigation into last night’s fatal police shooting of a black man in Falcon Heights during a traffic stop. Dayton says he made the request this morning to White House chief of staff and Minnesota native Denis McDonough. The governor is extending his deepest condolences to the family, friends and community of 32-year-old Philando Castile. Dayton says the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses and, quote, “I will do everything in my power to help protect the integrity of that investigation.”
