What we've been able to piece together... Part of this took place in Minneapolis overnight and may also be connected to a shooting or death (or other incident) in Chanhassen prior to that.

The above person, Daniel, was apparently found deceased in a downtown Minneapolis apt/condo this morning on Washington Ave S. after being the subject of a welfare check overnight. He was named as the shooter in the Chanhassen incident (which has not yet been disclosed by authorities).
