minnesota has good samaritan laws you can’t be held accountable for injury caused by cpr
For all those asking for close-ups and more video, you have to think that they are in the process of notifying next of kin. Be respectful, imagine being a mother or a father. You all know what has happened that should be the end of it for now.
I think its also just gross and weird people would want to see that anyway
Yes it was a terrible scene I was on scene this morning when it happened I'm a nurse and I showed up along with another individual before University Police and the local police responded it was very sad
Car confirmed stolen btw. Ran two red lights and also reports of shots fired nearby just 10 minutes earlier. Gun was found in the car
