Motorists and police will have new guidance that may help avoid deadly shootings like the one that killed Philando Castile four years ago Monday.

His mother, Valerie Castile pushed for the changes after her son was fatally shot by a St. Anthony police officer during a traffic stop in a St. Paul suburb seconds after he told the officer he had a firearm in his vehicle.

Castile said the update to the Minnesota Driver’s Manual could save lives.
