Five stories to know for April 12: Protests erupt after Minneapolis shooting, Virginia police officer fired and sued, Derek Chauvin trial and UK ends lockdown.
1. Violent protests erupted after a Minneapolis shooting in the suburb of Brooklyn Center. 20-year-old Daunte Wright, a Black man, was shot dead during a traffic stop. The unrest in Brooklyn Center came hours before the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with murdering George Floyd, was set to resume in a courtroom less than 10 miles away on Monday.
2. One of two Virginia police officers was fired. The firing comes after U.S. Army officer Caron Nazario filed a lawsuit against the two police officers in federal court over what court papers say was a violent traffic stop on Dec. 5, 2020, where officers pointed their guns, knocked him to the ground, pepper sprayed him and "threatened to murder him.
3. Prosecutors will rest their case this week at the Derek Chauvin trial. The 45-year-old ex-Minneapolis police officer has pleaded not guilty to murder and manslaughter charges in the May 2020 death of George Floyd, a Black man. The trial has included police testimony and emotional eyewitness descriptions of Floyd dying under Chauvin’s knee. Chauvin's defense team is arguing that he was following the training he had received during his 19 years on the force.
4. Prince Harry arrive back in Britain to attend Prince Philip’s funeral on Saturday.
5. The UK ended its three month lockdown. People lined up outside retailers across England to release their pent-up shopping fever and some grabbed a midnight pint or even an early haircut as shops, pubs, gyms and hairdressers reopened.
