This video was captured on Facebook Live in the aftermath of a police-involved shooting Wednesday night in Falcon Heights.

The video was temporarily inacessible due to a technical glitch, according to a Facebook spokesperson, and was restored after Facebook investigated. Before then, it had been captured and posted on YouTube.

Warning: The video is graphic and will be disturbing to most viewers. Your discretion is advised. If you'd rather not watch, we have a transcript of the video here.
