read anywhere that they were outright cancelled, but I'm not positive. All I've seen is authorities warning people that it may not be a good idea with this nutjob still on the loose. Maybe someone has better information than I do though

Even in my small town in SE MN there is a large crowd in a local park. Everyone is coming out to protest as planned. One event was cancelled in the city where the shootings took place. I have a feeling some people still showed up there as well.

Of course, people in that area are in stay in place order.

I don't believe it is state wide.
