Overview
- Multiple outlets and court records name the shooter as Jonathan Ross, though DHS has declined to formally identify him citing safety concerns.
- Federal officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Vice President J.D. Vance, describe the shooting as self‑defense and have labeled Renee Good’s actions as domestic terrorism.
- Bystander videos and statements from Minneapolis leaders dispute the federal account, showing Good driving away as shots were fired and prompting demands for transparency.
- Ross’s background includes Iraq service with the Indiana National Guard, Border Patrol work near El Paso, and roles at ICE since 2015 on a special response team, as a firearms instructor, and on a Joint Terrorism Task Force.
- Court records detail a June 2025 Bloomington arrest attempt in which a fleeing driver dragged Ross about 100 yards, injuries that required dozens of stitches, and a subsequent conviction for assaulting a federal officer.
