Plans for memorial for Minneapolis police officer Jamal Mitchell announced

Police officers and their loved ones will pay their respects to the late Minneapolis police officer Jamal Mitchell at a public safety memorial service at 11 a.m. Tuesday, June 11, at Maple Grove Senior High School.

Minneapolis police announced plans for the public memorial on Thursday, with details expected to be announced in the coming days.

Mitchell was shot and killed last week while responding to a report of a double shooting in the Whittier neighborhood of south Minneapolis. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says he had stopped about a block away to help an injured person when he was “ambushed” and shot.

Mitchell was one of three people who died in the chaotic incident; at least four others were injured.

He served with the Minneapolis Police Department for about a year and a half. He leaves behind three children. His family says they are planning a memorial service in Connecticut, where Mitchell was born and raised.
