He got out and ran, though it’s still unclear what happened just prior to his fatal shooting. Over the weekend, anti-police brutality protesters were confronted by right-wing counter-protesters. At least seven people were arrested after a vigil Friday night. An independent investigation into Peterson’s killing is underway.
As the US presidential election is underway, many in the United States are worried about widespread social unrest following the announcement of the results.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed in his campaign rallies that his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, would have rigged the election if Biden announces winning the election.
According to US media reports, thousands of US National Guard personnel have been deployed in various parts of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
