Police of a suburb in the U.S. city of Minneapolis have used tear gas and stun grenades against hundreds of protesters angry over the fatal shooting of a Black man stopped for a traffic violation.
One of the arresting officers opened fire on 20-year-old Dante Wright, who appears to have driven off before dying minutes later.
The BBC's Barbara Plett Usher reports.

Protesters are gathered in a tense standoff outside the police station.
They're shouting, "Hands up. Don't shoot" and "Black lives, they matter here."
Police are firing flares and smoke bombs to push them back.
The protestors are angry of another shooting of a Black man.
This happened when police tried to arrest him after pulling him over for a traffic violation.
All of this is going on about 10 miles north of Minneapolis, where the former police officer Derek Chauvin is on trial for killing George Floyd.
A third week of testimony begins today.
The city is on edge and this incident has intensified emotions.
