Second Arrest for Shooting of Black Lives Matter Protesters

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Police in Minneapolis say they have arrested a second man in the overnight shootings of five Black Lives Matters protesters.

The man was arrested in his car in south Minneapolis. Police described him as a 32-year-old Hispanic man.

Police earlier arrested a 23-year-old white man in the shootings. They say they are still seeking "additional suspects."

None of the protesters suffered life-threatening injuries during Monday night's shooting.

They were among scores of people who have demonstrated for more than a week outside a north Minneapolis police precinct in the wake of the death of 23-year-old Jamar Clark.

One of the Black Lives Matter protesters who was shot a block from a Minneapolis police precinct has returned to the scene.

Wesley Martin was one of five protesters shot as they were trying to escort some people from Monday night's demonstration. None of the five suffered life-threatening injuries.

Martin was walking with a cane after being hit in the left leg and treated at a Minneapolis hospital. Martin says he's "feeling better than yesterday."

Martin says he remembers chasing the people that he confronted, then being hit in the leg. He says he remembers being put in an ambulance and little else.

The protesters have been outside of the 4th Precinct since 24-year-old Jamar Clark died in a confrontation with police on Nov. 15. Some community members said Clark was handcuffed, which police have disputed.
