Officials in Minneapolis, Minnesota, are investigating reports of a shooting involving federal authorities on Saturday morning, authorities said.

In a Facebook post, the city said it was aware of reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street West and Nicollet Avenue.

“We are working to confirm additional details,” the city said. “We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area.”

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, in a post on social media, said he spoke with the White House after “another horrific shooting by federal agents.”

“Minnesota has had it,” the governor said, in part. “This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

The shooting comes weeks after Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who had recently moved to Minnesota, was shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. Good’s death prompted protests nationwide, with demonstrators calling for an end to immigration enforcement actv

Video taken by bystanders posted to social media shows an officer approaching her car, demanding she open the door and grabbing the handle. When she begins to pull forward, a different ICE officer standing in front of the vehicle pulls his weapon and immediately fires at least two shots into the vehicle at close range.

Trump administration officials painted Macklin Good as a domestic terrorist who had attempted to ram federal agents with her car. Her ex-husband said she was no activist and that he had never known her to participate in a protest of any kind.

The Minneapolis City Council described Macklin Good as a resident who was out “caring for her neighbors” when she was killed.
