"A Minnesota woman sitting in the snow with her dog told a person filming her that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had just shot and killed her wife, according to newly circulating video that has intensified scrutiny of a fatal federal shooting during a sweeping immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis on Wednesday. "They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries."
"But multiple videos circulating online appear to tell a different story. Separate footage shows a dark SUV attempting to drive away from the scene when three shots ring out, sending bystanders into panic. Moments later, the vehicle crashes into a light pole and parked cars as people scream and rush toward the wreckage. Authorities have not publicly reconciled those images with DHS's account."
A 37-year-old woman was fatally shot Wednesday morning near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue during a large Department of Homeland Security immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota. Roughly 2,000 federal agents were deployed across the state as part of the operation. Circulating video shows bystanders recording, a dark SUV attempting to drive away when three shots ring out, and the vehicle crashing into a light pole and parked cars. A distraught woman told a filmer that ICE agents had shot her wife in the head. DHS described the killing as defensive gunfire and called the incident domestic terrorism, and authorities have not publicly reconciled the videos with the DHS account.
