Just before 11 p.m., an MPR News reporter witnessed stores being damaged and some looting underway at the Shingle Creek Crossing shopping center and nearby stores in Brooklyn Park. A large number of law enforcement officers were responding to the area.

MPR reporter's tweet 1047pm

Cars are pouring into Shingle Creek Crossing, with widespread break ins and looting going on. Many stores damaged. Lots of high speed traffic and violations. Area appears fairly dangerous, traffic wise.
