MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — No law enforcement officers will face criminal charges in the death of a man who fled a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb of Robbinsdale. The death was ruled an accidental drowning, prosecutors said Monday.

The message told Shunghla that there were people looking for her and trying to help. She proved an extraordinarily resourceful and resilient 10-year-old,” the sheriff’s office said.
