MINNEAPOLIS: A man is in critical condition after being shot by a federal agent on Saturday morning in South Minneapolis, triggering immediate protests and a standoff between local residents and law enforcement.
What Happened? The incident occurred at the intersection of 26th Street West and Nicollet Avenue. Video footage shared on social media shows agents struggling with a man on the sidewalk before gunfire is heard. Paramedics were seen performing chest compressions on the victim.
The Fallout This is the second major shooting involving federal teams in Minneapolis this January, following the death of Renee Good. The heavy presence of federal officers has kept the city on edge.
Governor Tim Walz condemned the shooting as “horrific” and has publicly asked the President to end the federal crackdown. “Pull the officers out. Now,” Walz demanded, warning that the city cannot take more violence.
