After finishing strong on the big stage with “Burn, Burn, Burn” and “Quittin’ Time,” he and the band moved over to a smaller B-stage on the opposite end of the arena. They finished with a long, jamboree-style jam through “Revival,” one that dates back to Bryan’s days in the Navy that helped set him on his voyage. His ascent in the interim seems truly incredible, but not after you’ve seen him live.

A 15-year-old girl is dead after a shooting in Minneapolis on Saturday afternoon.
At 1:50 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to a shooting at a home on the 3400 block of Logan Avenue North. Police found a 15-year-old girl in the home with at least one life-threatening gunshot wound.
Law enforcement provided medical aid until the girl was brought to North Memorial, where she later died from her injuries.
Two adults and two teenagers were in the home when officers arrived on scene.
“I am deeply concerned by the shooting death of a 15-year-old girl,” said Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara. “Whether this is a terrible accident highlighting the need for the proper care and storage of guns, or this is somehow connected to the growing violence among teenagers, the loss of a 15-year-old girl is an unacceptable tragedy. Our investigators are working diligently to determine exactly what happened. Together with our law enforcement and community partners, we will continue to do all we can to completely interrupt the number of lives that are forever impacted by guns.”
Investigators are working to determine what led up to the shooting. No arrests have been made.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner will release the name of the 15-year-old at a later time.
Anyone with information about the incident should call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Man charged with shooting Minneapolis mosque worshiper reportedly had been selling drugs nearby

Prosecutors have charged a Shakopee man with firing at two mosque worshipers Monday, wounding one and forcing another to dive to the ground for safety.
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office charged Yancy Hall, 68, with drive-by shooting and two counts of second-degree assault. Hall, who was in custody, appeared in court Friday and is expected back in court on Oct. 7.
Charging documents say that authorities were investigating Hall for narcotics violations when worshipers caught him selling narcotics near their mosque.
Minneapolis police responded to the Aug. 19 shooting near the Masjid An-Nur mosque on Lyndale Avenue in the city’s Near North neighborhood. They found people helping a 75-year-old man bleeding from one gunshot wound in his arm and two in his shoulder. Used bullet cartridges littered the ground nearby.
As the victim was transported to the hospital, he told officers that he was shot by a man in a white SUV after leaving evening prayer at the mosque. He said that after he told the suspect he could not sell drugs in the area, the man drove away, then made a U-turn and started shooting.
Another worshiper who was nearly shot said the suspect was just a few feet away when at least five shots were fired, forcing him to dive for safety.
Surveillance footage supports their statements, according to authorities. Video shows Hall’s white SUV sitting near the mosque’s parking lot entrance for 20 minutes as a number of people approach and leave his vehicle. The footage appears to show Hall driving onto Lyndale before turning around and stopping in front of the mosque. Five gunshots ring out and one person is seen diving behind a vehicle before the SUV flees the scene.
Authorities learned the next day that Hall was being tracked for a narcotics investigation. That tracker placed his white SUV at the mosque during the shooting and leaving the area at the time he reportedly fled.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Court records say a 68-year-old Shakopee man under investigation for narcotics is now facing charges for shooting a man outside a Minneapolis mosque after being confronted about selling drugs.
What happened?
The shooting happened on Aug. 19 around 5:45 p.m. near Masjid An-Nur Mosque, located on the 1700 block of Lyndale Avenue North in Minneapolis.
A 75-year-old man had just left evening prayer with a friend when they saw what appeared to be a drug deal happening nearby. Charges say the man approached the large SUV and told the driver he couldn’t sell drugs there, and the two started exchanging words.
The driver started to leave, but the complaint claims he made a U-turn and fired multiple shots at the two men.
When police arrived at the scene, they found the victim with multiple gunshot wounds to his arms and shoulders. He was then transported to the hospital for his injuries. The criminal complaint did not provide an update on the man’s condition.
How did the police make an arrest?
During the investigation, authorities learned that 68-year-old Yancy Hall, who was later identified as the driver, was being looked into by police as part of a narcotics investigation.
Charges claim he drove a large white SUV that had been equipped with a tracker from an earlier search warrant. Authorities reviewed the data, which police say placed the vehicle at the shooting location when it occurred before leaving the area.
Court records say the vehicle was also captured on various surveillance cameras in the area.
What did the suspect say?
While speaking with investigators, police say Hall confessed to shooting the victim. He claims he “sells dope” in that area, and the man had approached him, saying he couldn’t sell drugs there, charges allege.
Hall said that once he started to drive away, he claimed to hear the victim say, “You come back here, I’m gonna kill your motherf—— ass,” so he turned around and started shooting, charges allege.
What’s next?
Hall was charged with two counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and an additional count of drive-by shooting toward a person.
The criminal complaint did not explain what led authorities to start investigating Hall for narcotics or how long he had been under investigation leading up to the shooting.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Friday afternoon and remains in custody at the Hennepin County Jail.
