Some vandals also looted businesses during the mayhem

Rioters in Minneapolis reportedly smashed windows and lit a dumpster on fire Thursday night near a parking garage where an officer fatally shot a suspect wanted for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon earlier.  

The suspect, accused in a homicide, didn’t follow commands from the U.S. Marshal Service taskforce – made up of local law enforcement  – and pulled out a gun during the attempted arrest, FOX 9 in Minneapolis reported, citing authorities. He was pronounced dead at the scene. 

The dumpster eventually melted into a "puddle of fire," a KSTP-TV reporter at the scene tweeted. The few dozen protesters continued to add items to the dumpster to keep it burning, FOX 9 reported. 

Firefighters eventually arrived and extinguished the fire. Police reportedly took around 40 minutes to respond after it was lit.

State Department Probe Into Coronavirus Origin 'Suppressed,' Pompeo Says

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday he faced pushback into probing the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus from both within his agency and from the National Institutes of Health.

"[NIH] folks were trying to suppress what we were doing at the State Department as well," he told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle,” adding that this was in addition to the pushback he normally received at the State Department from those who were against him and former President Trump.  

NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins, however, recently said that he did not dismiss the possibility of a lab leak.

Pompeo said that while China “has no desire for the world to know what happened,” there is already a great deal that is known about what was taking place at the Wuhan lab.
