Mourners filled Grace Church in Eden Prairie Wednesday to honor the three fallen first responders who were shot and killed earlier this month in a standoff in Burnsville.  Thousands of people filled the church and others watched along a procession back to Burnsville.

And there's a special election Thursday for Minnesota House District 27B. Three candidates — two Republicans and one Democrat — are vying to move forward to a special election next month to determine who will replace former Republican State Representative Kurt Daudt.

This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi. Music by Gary Meister.
