Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara says he was targeted by fireworks during Fourth of July chaos last year, when more than 30 people were arrested.

Minneapolis leaders will discuss community safety during the Fourth of July holiday at a press conference Wednesday morning. Minneapolis Community Safety Commissioner Toddrick Barnette, with Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara and other public safety officials will share more information about fireworks safety, water safety and impaired driving.

In continued efforts to curb the spikes in disturbances and assorted “chaos” that accompanies the July 4th holiday in recent years, Minneapolis city officials said they will once again increase patrols and close off some parking lots and roads surrounding Bde Maka Ska and Boom Island Park for the annual festivities.
