Barely in job, new chief feels heat from Amir Locke shooting

FILE - People stand by a cross planted in the boulevard outside homes at the intersection, in Minneapolis Sunday night, Feb. 6, 2022. At least 150 demonstrators in a caravan of dozens of cars gathered outside a home thought to be where Interim Minneapolis Police Chief Amelia Huffman resides. The fatal shooting of a 22-year-old Black man by police in Minneapolis is turning up the heat on the city's police chief. Amelia Huffman was elevated to the top job on an interim basis just weeks before Amir Locke was slain by officers serving a search warrant.
