Today, Rep. Walz released the following statement:
My heart is with the family and friends of Philando Castile as they grieve his shocking and tragic death. I echo calls for an independent and thorough investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. We must be governed by facts and the rule of law to ensure justice for all involved. I ask for calmness and peace as Minnesotans express sorrow and exercise their First Amendment rights.
