Deputy Forgives, Befriends Man Who Shot Him

ST. PAUL, Minn. – As hundreds memorialized the longtime police chief of the Minnesota State Fair, few noticed the man sitting off to the side.

Twenty-two years ago, he shot Chief Art Blakey.

“It was four months before my 19th birthday,” Danny said. “I was eight months out of high school.”
