Overview
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem used a CNN appearance to reiterate that Renee Nicole Good committed domestic terrorism and to defend ICE officer Jonathan Ross within hours of the shooting.
- USA TODAY’s analysis of multiple videos indicates Good’s SUV appeared to turn away as shots were fired, contradicting federal assertions that she was driving toward the agent at that moment.
- Tapper questioned Noem on reaching conclusions before the probe and highlighted audio in which an agent is heard using an expletive after the shooting, which Noem declined to specifically attribute.
- The FBI has confirmed it is leading the investigation as Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension accuses federal authorities of limiting state access, and Mayor Jacob Frey calls for an objective inquiry.
- Reports identify the shooter as Jonathan Ross; Noem says he was treated after being hit by the vehicle, protests have grown nationwide, and DHS is deploying additional federal officers to Minnesota.
