"The shooting happened in a residential neighbourhood south of downtown Minneapolis, just a few blocks from some of the oldest immigrant markets in the area and a mile from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020."
"Police officers "responded to the reports of shots fired and found a woman with life-threatening gunshot wounds to the head. Minneapolis firefighters then removed the 37-year-old victim from the vehicle and immediately began lifesaving measures until paramedics could respond. She was transported to Hennepin County Medical Centre, where she later died.""
"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, during a visit to Texas, described the incident as an "act of domestic terrorism" carried out against Ice officers by a woman who "attempted to run them over and rammed them with her vehicle. An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shot, to protect himself and the people around him"."
The shooting occurred in a residential neighbourhood south of downtown Minneapolis, a few blocks from long-standing immigrant markets and about a mile from the site where George Floyd was killed in 2020. Police responding to reports of shots fired found a 37-year-old woman with life-threatening gunshot wounds to the head. Minneapolis firefighters removed her from the vehicle and initiated lifesaving measures; she was transported to Hennepin County Medical Centre and later died. Federal officials characterised the shooting as self-defence. The mayor described the shooting as reckless and unnecessary. Senior federal figures labelled the incident an attack on ICE and criticised protesters.
