MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The latest in the investigation into the fatal shooting of a black man by Minneapolis police that has sparked days of demonstrations (all times local):

2:30 p.m.


U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison is upset with police who he believes pointed a gun at his son, Jeremiah, during protests outside a Minneapolis police station over the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man.

The Minneapolis Democrat, who is black, posted on his Twitter account Thursday that a Star Tribune photo showing his son and an officer in riot gear was "agonizing" to see. He says it shows his son was peacefully protesting with his hands up, while the officer is shouldering a gun.

The photo has been circulating on social media. It was taken Wednesday night amid protests taking place at the station since another officer shot Jamar Clark in a confrontation Sunday.
