Police investigating the death of a 3-year-old boy in Minneapolis earlier this week say the child apparently shot himself. Investigators recovered a 9 mm handgun with a round in the chamber. So far no one has been charged.

Minnesota Republicans want more eyes on absentee ballots cast in the state after GOP officials raised concerns about ballot security following an incident in Edina last week. A photo surfaced of a vehicle with its trunk open and ballots unattended. Hennepin County election administrators say there were no ballots tampered with and a courier was fired.
