Inquiries have been received about the role the Hennepin
County Attorney’s Office in the investigation of the tragic shooting death of
Jamar Clark. Our office is cooperating with the investigation by the Minnesota
Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the FBI.
When that thorough investigation is complete, we will review
the case file. At that point, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will
present the case to a grand jury for consideration of criminal charges. We will
not make any further comments until after the deliberations of the grand jury
are completed to ensure that the investigation will be fair, thorough and
complete.
In regards to the violent shooting attack on peaceful
protesters Monday night, we understand that two suspects were arrested by
Minneapolis police today. When a case is presented, we will seek, as we always
do, to bring the most serious felony charges that the evidence permits. But
again, we cannot comment further at this time.
