[NBC News] A man shot by federal agents in Minneapolis this morning has died, a state official says

Federal agents shot a person in Minneapolis, Gov. Tim Walz said Saturday.

A Minnesota official later confirmed that the man who was shot by federal agents in Minneapolis has died.

The incident happened in the area of West 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue.

The incident was captured on a video posted to Facebook and verified by NBC News.

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

A spokesperson for the DHS said law enforcement officers were “conducting a targeted operation” this morning in Minneapolis “against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault.”

While they were conducting that operation, the spokesperson said someone approached the officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun.

After attempts to disarm the suspect, they “violently resisted,” the spokesperson said, noting that more details on the “struggle” are forthcoming.

“Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots,” the spokesperson said. Medical aid was given to the suspect, but the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect had two magazines and no identification, according to the DHS spokesperson.

“This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement,” the spokesperson said.

After the shooting, around 200 “rioters” arrived at the scene “and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene,” the spokesperson continued. Crowd control measures were used, they added.

Gov. Tim Walz said he spoke to the White House.

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

The shooting comes weeks after Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis.
