ST. PAUL, Minn. – Relatives of a man killed by a state trooper say they had an "important meeting" with Minnesota's governor Wednesday.

Previously, relatives called for the troopers to get fired. Those troopers stopped Cobb on Interstate 94 in Minneapolis last week because he didn't have his tail lights on, and they discovered he was wanted for violating an order for protection.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says the troopers tried to remove Cobb from the car when he refused to get out. Trooper Ryan Londregan fired his gun, killing Cobb.

All three troopers are on standard administrative leave. The Hennepin County Attorney's office will consider any possible criminal charges.
The BCA's investigation into the shooting could take up to 60 days.
