Wellstone remembered by thousands
Minnesotans from every part of the state said goodbye Tuesday night to a hero, Sen. Paul Wellstone, his wife and daughter. They died Friday in a plane crash in northern Minnesota.
Followers of Wellstone crammed into the 14,000 seat Williams Arena on the University of Minnesota campus to honor the man who was a two-term U.S. senator.
In attendance was former President Bill Clinton and U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., former Vice President Walter Mondale and former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson, more than 50 former and current members of Congress, many state legislators and Gov. Jesse Ventura.
Two teen boys killed in car rollover
Two boys were killed Monday night after their car rolled. Zach Tracy and his best friend, Matt Franck, both 15, were killed in a one-car rollover about 3:20 p.m. Monday after they left Central High School in Norwood Young America with three classmates.
The other teenagers, all girls, were injured. Two of the three girls in the car, including driver Rebecca Riner, 17, were still hospitalized Tuesday night.
The two boys were not wearing seat belts and were ejected from the speeding car, said Carver County Chief Deputy Denny Owens. He said the girls got out of the car before deputies arrived and it wasn’t clear if they wore seat belts.
