MINNEAPOLIS — Bayle Gelle said he awoke in the middle of the night to the sound of his wife screaming. He plunged down the stairs and found her in the living room, being confronted by sheriff’s deputies. The officers turned their guns toward him, he said, and they were barking orders that he struggled to understand. The fatal police shooting on Wednesday night would be the first in Minneapolis since the killing of George Floyd in May, which led to hundreds of protests across the country and an outpouring of calls for police reform. But as Mr. Gelle sat on the floor that night, his wrists restrained in plastic handcuffs and a breeze blowing through the open door behind him, he had no idea that his son had been killed.
