"Federal agents have killed another person in Minneapolis. The 37-year-old white man, whose name has not been released, was shot to death Saturday morning. "An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun," said a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, quoted by The Minnesota Star Tribune. "The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted.""
""Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots," the statement continued. "Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene." Some commenters online are posting video and questioning DHS's version of events. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said at a press conference that his department isn't sure yet what happened before the shooting."
"DHS, the parent agency of Border Patrol, said the shooting took place while agents were conducting a "targeted operation" seeking "an illegal alien wanted for violent assault." The man's death comes less than a month after the killing of Renee Nicole Good by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis. Good was fatally shot while driving through an area where ICE agents were seeking out immigrants."
