MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The latest on the investigation into the shooting by a Minneapolis police officer of a black man suspected in an assault. The shooting has sparked protests. (all times local):

11:45 a.m.

Gov. Mark Dayton says he’s concerned about protests over a shooting by Minneapolis police that led to the hours-long shutdown of a major freeway and supports steps to prevent similar disruptions.

Dayton praised state and local authorities Tuesday for showing restraint and providing ample warning before arresting dozens of protesters Monday night as they blocked traffic with a sit-in on Interstate 94. He says the protest was “extremely dangerous” and put other lives at risk.

He wouldn’t say if those arrested should be prosecuted, but that it depends on the circumstances.
