Under questioning by defense, Dr. Baker stated that if #GeorgeFloyd had been found dead in his house w/no signs of trauma, Baker would have ruled his death due to fentanyl toxicity. Also said GF medical conditions were contributing factors, but stuck to his finding of "homicide."

Brooklyn Center - Report of officer involved shooting possibly involving a fatality near 63rd Ave N near Kathrene. The incident involved a multi-vehicle crash just prior.
Minneapolis day watch is also being held over just in case.
The BCA has confirmed the OIS.
We're also hearing the shooting took place during a traffic stop. The vehicle reportedly took off from the female officer who discharged her weapon and the vehicle crashed into oncoming traffic.
Official details still forthcoming.
.
The scene in Brooklyn Center right now. A group with a megaphone has gathered and are shouting at police.
Day 3 #ChauvinTrial thread.
Minneapolis fire fighter Genevieve Hansen, who was an off-duty bystander at the GF incident, retakes the stand this morning. She was reprimanded by Judge Cahill yesterday for being argumentative with defense & the court.
Witness Christopher Martin, 19, takes the stand. He was living above Cup Foods & was working as cashier at the store on May 25 at the time of the #GeorgeFloyd incident.
Being questioned by prosecution Matthew Frank (lower R. Also pictured: Eric Nelson and #DerekChauvin).
Martin said GF came in to buy cigarettes. Martin conversed with GF and said it took GF a little long to reply and he appeared high.
Store security video being shown of #GeorgeFloyd in the store (R). GF can be seen muttering and shuffling.
Day 2 #ChauvinTrial thread.
A motion was heard this a.m. on protecting the ID of witnesses who were minors at the time (there are 4).
Judge ruled minors can use first name or initials, but their names are public on witness list. And one has already sought publicity thru media.
Again, here is our compilation of the police dispatch audio from the time of the #GeorgeFloyd incident. The dispatch audio has been referenced several times in the #ChauvinTrial already.
MPD confirmation on last night's double shooting in #Dinkytown that resulted in one dead and another hospitalized w/non-life threatening injuries. Three guns were recovered at the scene.
Police not looking for more suspects.
No danger to the public.
ME will ID the fatality.
As a refresher, this is at least the third double shooting in #Dinkytown since the first of the year.
