FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) – The grandfather of the man fatally shot by police in a St. Paul suburb says his grandson was a person who stayed out of trouble.
 Eighty-nine-year-old Sam Castile, of St. Paul, says his grandson, Philando Castile, was a “guy who went about his business,” went to work and back home to his mother and sister.
 Castile was fatally shot behind the wheel of a car in Falcon Heights Wednesday night after he was pulled over by an officer from St. Anthony. Castile’s girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds and her young daughter were also in the car, but were not injured. Reynolds says she was detained by police until 5 a.m. Thursday.

The White House says President Barack Obama is “deeply disturbed” by reports of police shootings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and in suburban St. Paul, Minnesota. White House spokesman Josh Earnest says Obama is following the situations closely but that he can’t comment more while the cases are being investigated.

Obama says the incidents are symptoms of broader challenges in the criminal justice system. He says they reflect racial disparities that persist “year after year.” But Obama also says the U.S. must show respect and appreciation for police.
