No charges for MN State Patrol trooper who shot suspect

A Minnesota State Patrol trooper will not face any charges for shooting a man last year. On September 21st, Eddie Freeman III was a passenger in a vehicle heading east on I-94 in Minneapolis. The driver says Freeman caused the vehicle to crash into an embankment and then fired multiple shots at her. Authorities found Freeman walking along the shoulder of the freeway. As troopers approached, Freeman fired his gun, hitting a trooper’s car. The trooper made a U-turn, left his car, and shot Freeman. The HCAO (Hennepin County Attorney’s Office) found no evidence of unlawful behavior. The charges against Freeman include six counts of first-, second-, and fourth-degree assault.
