Overview
- Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed the man shot by federal agents Saturday died after a confrontation near 26th Street West and Nicollet Avenue.
- The Department of Homeland Security said he had a handgun with two magazines and released a photo of the weapon, adding that agents fired defensive shots while trying to disarm him.
- Crowds quickly converged on the scene as officers used crowd-control measures, capping a week of mass demonstrations that included about 100 airport arrests on Friday.
- Governor Tim Walz, Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, and Mayor Jacob Frey demanded a federal pullout and said state investigators must secure and process the scene.
- The killing follows the Jan. 7 shooting of Renee Nicole Good and an FBI agent’s resignation from that civil-rights inquiry, as thousands of federal personnel remain in Minnesota under Operation Metro Surge.
