Jul. 7—MANKATO — Police are investigating a possible armed robbery of a guest at the City Center Hotel in downtown Mankato.

Mankato Department of Public Safety officers were called to a report that a man with a gun robbed a guest in a room around 5:25 a.m. Wednesday. The robber ran away and a hotel employee called police, Cmdr. Justin Neumann said.

Officers are still working to identify a suspect but believe the robber and guest knew each other.

"There is certainly no indication the public would be in danger," Neumann said.

It's still unclear whether a gun was displayed as initially reported, the commander said.

The guest was not seriously injured.

Judge: Air Force mostly at fault in 2017 Texas church attack
A federal judge has ruled that the U.S. Air Force is mostly responsible for a former serviceman killing more than two dozen people at a Texas church in 2017 because it failed to submit his criminal history into a database, which should have prevented him from purchasing firearms. U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez in San Antonio wrote in a ruling signed Wednesday that the Air Force was “60% responsible" for the massacre at First Baptist Church in the small town of Sutherland Springs, where Devin Kelley opened fire during a Sunday service. The attack remains the worst mass shooting in Texas history.

Rittenhouse attorney wants to show victim was sex offender
Kyle Rittenhouse's attorney wants a judge to allow him to argue that one of the men his client fatally shot during a Wisconsin protest was a sex offender, saying it supports a defense theory that he attacked Rittenhouse and intended to take his gun because he couldn't legally possess one. Mark Richards maintained in court filings Thursday that Joseph Rosenbaum was convicted of having sex with a minor in Arizona in 2002 and was prohibited from possessing firearms. Rosenbaum started the altercation with Rittenhouse in hopes of making off with his assault-style rifle, which only bolsters Rittenhouse’s self-defense argument, Richards wrote.
