"The details surrounding the shooting were not immediately clear, but Minnesota governor Tim Walz said the person was shot amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Minneapolis police chief, Brian O'Hara, said a 37-year-old man was killed. He urged people to remain peaceful and not to destroy the city. Mr O'Hara said there was limited information about the shooting. He called on people to leave the area and said it is "not sustainable"."
""Our demand today is for those federal agencies that are operating in our city to do so with the same discipline, humanity and integrity that effective law enforcement in this country demands," the chief said. "We urge everyone to remain peaceful. We recognise that there is a lot of anger and a lot of questions around what has happened, but we need people to remain peaceful in the area.""
A 37-year-old man was shot and killed amid immigration enforcement activity in Minneapolis. Minnesota governor Tim Walz linked the shooting to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara said details are limited, urged people to remain peaceful, called the situation "not sustainable," and asked people to leave the area. Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the person had a firearm with two magazines and described the situation as "evolving." She said officers fired "defensive shots" after the man with a handgun approached them and "violently resisted" during attempts to disarm him. Protests had been ongoing since the January 7 ICE shooting of Renee Good.
