Live from NPR News in New York City. I'm Doua lisai Kowtel. The CEOs of more than 60 Minnesota companies, including Target, Best Buy and General Mills, are urging local, state and federal officials to de escalate tensions following the killing of of ICU nurse Alex Preddy by federal immigration officers. In an open letter, the company executives called for peace and focused cooperation as some businesses reported recent losses. Meanwhile, there are calls for further investigations to determine what led to the fatal shooting of Preddy, a US Citizen who worked at a local VA hospital in Minneapolis. Here's Greg Bovino, the Customs and Border Patrol commander at large, updating reporters.

The snow had turned to sleet across most of the state, tamping down higher snow accumulations that had been forecasted. But the icy sheen poses its own risks. Power outages were relatively modest by mid afternoon, but as the storm continues, more outages are possible. The storm brought travel to a near halt. More than 2,700 flights into and out of the three New York City area airports were canceled Sunday and New Jersey transit suspended. All rail and bus service operations may resume on Monday, but no official word on when. For NPR News, I'm Bruce Kahnfeiser in.
