A shooting has occurred in Minnesota, prompting CEOs of major companies in the state, including Target, to issue a joint letter calling for de-escalation of tensions. The letter appears to be a response to the shooting, but the specifics of the incident and the companies' motivations are not clear. There are also reports of protests and boycotts targeting Target, possibly related to the company's stance on immigration issues, although the exact connection to the CEOs' letter is uncertain.
