• Charges: Man shot his father in neck, sparking major police response in Edina (bringmethenews.com) — Brooklyn Park residents may want to know that a 26-year-old man from the city was arrested at the Cub Foods in town after police say he fled an Edina apartment where his father was shot and seriously wounded. Prosecutors have charged him with attempted second-degree murder and illegal gun possession, alleging he used recently stolen ammunition during the incident. 
• Minnesota Twins Prospect Retrospective: John Klein (twinsdaily.com) — Brooklyn Park native John Klein has climbed from undrafted free agent to making his big-league debut with the Minnesota Twins, just a short drive from where he grew up. The article tracks his steady rise through the minors, his increased velocity and expanded pitch mix, and how he’s now forcing his way into the Twins’ long-term pitching plans.
• Teen facing charges in multiple shootings ordered to stand trial as adult in murder case (kstp.com) — A 17-year-old from Brooklyn Park has been ordered to stand trial as an adult in connection with a December fatal shooting inside a Minneapolis home.
