Reports from Minneapolis that a man purposefully rammed a protest against the assassination of Winston Smith. Three people were injured. At least one seriously.
The driver was apparently apprehended by protesters, who also administered first aid to the injured.

The person I quoted took that photo. They claim to have been nearly hit in the attack and are a witness to it.
Other reports from the scene claim that riot cops showed up before an ambulance did.

I believe the name given in the first quoted tweet to be inaccurate. It is based on police scanner info and was likely just alphanumeric code.

Here are some images of the driver alleged to have attacked the crowd. They come from a livestream, after members of the crowd took him into custody.
He is currently alive and in police custody.

People have made a note of the company name on his shirt. I would avoid putting too much stock in that until we know whether or not he worked there or this was just a shirt he got from goodwill or something.
