Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Tuesday, June seventeenth, twenty twenty-five.

We start today with the latest on the shocking attacks that have shaken Minnesota politics. Prosecutors say the suspect charged in the shooting death of one lawmaker and the injury of another had dozens of officials on his list of potential targets. Thanks to the urgent response by law enforcement, more potential tragedies were averted, including a near-miss at the home of Senator Ann Rest. The suspect was apprehended after a dramatic search that included abandoned vehicles and evidence left along Minneapolis highways. While the community is still processing these events, local leaders are urging calm and unity as investigations continue.

Turning to our weather, Minneapolis faces another day of on-and-off severe storms. Forecasters warn that heavy rain, the chance for flash floods, and even tornadoes remain a risk through at least Wednesday. If you have outdoor plans, watch the skies and check alerts, especially this morning and late afternoon. Temperatures stay in the mid-seventies, though humidity will make it feel a bit warmer.

At City Hall, Mayor Jacob Frey has confirmed that police reforms will move forward despite a federal court denying the city's proposed consent decree. The city pledges to implement new measures that aim to improve both public safety and trust between residents and the police. This follows the council’s recent expansion of local employment protections, now covering height, weight, housing status, and justice-impacted individuals.

On the business front, local coffee favorite North Loop Brews is celebrating a grand reopening on Washington Avenue after renovations. Meanwhile, a longtime Lake Street bakery announced it will close at the end of June, citing rising costs and supply chain struggles.

If you’re looking for community events, tonight Powderhorn Park hosts its summer music series opener with local jazz ensembles. The Walker Art Center is offering free admission tomorrow afternoon for residents wanting to escape the storms. And for families, the Midtown Farmers Market will be open Thursday morning with early summer produce.

In education, congratulations go out to the Roosevelt High robotics team, which took home first place in last weekend’s regional competition. Shout out as well to the University of Minnesota Golden Gopher men’s hammer throwers—they posted a historic one-two finish at the NCAA Championships, making them the best in the nation this year.

Crime-wise, aside from the high-profile shooting, Minneapolis police report a quieter night overall, though they do urge residents around Lake Nokomis to be alert after a rash of car break-ins reported late Monday.

Let’s end with something uplifting—the Minnehaha Creek cleanup campaign saw over two hundred neighbors join hands on Sunday, gathering nearly two thousand pounds of litter. Volunteers said it was inspiring to see so many families, teens, and retirees working side by side to keep our city beautiful.

This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
