A major interstate in Minneapolis reopened Monday after it was closed for about seven hours while officials investigated a Minnesota State Patrol trooper's "use of force."
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension confirmed in a tweet that the agency was investigating the incident, but it didn't initially release any details about what prompted the closure of four miles of I-94 in north Minneapolis. The agency didn't say whether the trooper fired their gun or whether anyone died.
