MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Target announced its store on Lake Street in Minneapolis, which was significantly damaged during the riots over the summer, officially reopened on Wednesday.

During the unrest that followed the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody in May 2020, crowds set fire to the Minneapolis Police Department Third Precinct.
