In the wake of the tragic shooting death of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this past weekend, we take a look at how folks here in Wisconsin are reacting to the news from our next door neighbor. We start with news from the WI Attorney General's office on how he is supporting democracy in Minnesota and here. Next we take a look at the demonstrations from peaceful in places like Madison, Oshkosh, Superior and Green Bay, standing up and speaking out. Then we read some thoughts from politicians including a sitting congressman in the Northeast and another one who wants to be our next governor. Finally, we wrap up the first hour with an appeal to a very famous Wisconsinite for their help in saving WisconsinEye.
