This is AP News Minute.

Police in Kissimmee, Florida are mourning the deaths of two of their police officers after the men were fatally shot while on patrol late Friday. Authorities have identified the suspect as 45-year-old Everette Miller¹, who is now in custody².

Thousands of demonstrators chanting anti-Nazi slogans converged³ on downtown Boston, dwarfing⁴ a small group of conservatives, who planned a free speech rally then decided⁵ to cut it short. Authorities say more than two dozen people were arrested.

Friends, family and police officers across the country gathered to say goodbye to Lieutenant⁶ Jay Cullen, one of two Virginia state troopers who died in last weekend's fatal police helicopter crash in Charlottesville amid violent protest. The crash remains⁷ under investigation⁸.

Tourists and residents in Barcelona broke into applause after a human tower, popular in Europe, was completed at the site of Thursday's deadly terror attack. Earlier, Spain's king and queen paid a somber⁹ visit to the site, placing a wreath and two candles on the ground in memory of the victims.
