- Deputies with the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said Sunday that four people will be charged, with three tied to assaults on a journalist and a deputy and a fourth for obstruction with force.
- The Justice Department and FBI have opened a federal criminal investigation, confirmed publicly by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon.
- Social media posts flagged Chris, DeYanna, and Paige Ostroushko as participants seen in the footage, while some local outlets declined to name suspects before formal charges.
