George Floyd protests turn deadly after man shot outside pawn shop

A man was shot dead outside of a Minneapolis pawn shop Wednesday night as violent protests over thedeath of George Floyd rattled the city, authorities said.

Minneapolis cops are investigating reports that the victim was a looter shot dead by an owner of the business, police department spokesman John Elder said at press briefing early Thursday.

The man was found with a gunshot wound outside of Cadillac Pawn and Jewelry on East Lake Street near Bloomington Avenue at about 9:25 p.m. local time, Elder said.

“That is one of the theories that we’re working into,” Elder said in response to a reporter questioning if there’s any credence to the narrative that the owner shot dead a looter trying to break into his store.

“As I said, the body was found outside. And we have a couple of different scenarios as to what may have happened,” Elder told reporters.
