A time to âpause and prayâ Archbishop Hebda calls for faith-filled response to Brooklyn Center tragedy â Page 6
Daunte Wrightâs brother, Damik, right, hugs a friend April 12 at the site in Brooklyn Center where Daunte died after being shot by a Brooklyn Center police officer April 11 during a traffic stop. They are seated on a sculpture that originally was displayed at the George Floyd memorial in south Minneapolis, then brought to Brooklyn Center following Wrightâs death. Family, friends and community members gathered for a vigil to mourn, comfort one another, reflect on Wrightâs life and pray. Archbishop Bernard Hebda offered condolences to the Wright family and encouraged people to pray for justice and peace. The incident sparked protests and rioting in Brooklyn Center amid tension already present in the Twin Cities due to the trial underway of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for Floydâs death.
