“We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave,” officials wrote on X Saturday morning. “We are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area.”
Asked about the Department of Homeland Security’s claims about the fatal shooting of a man in Minneapolis, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said “the video speaks for itself.”
He referenced videos showing the shooting but said police haven’t received any “public safety statement” about the incident. DHS has said the man was armed and agents tried to disarm him before firing “defensive shots.”
The police chief said the man is believed to be a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry. His only past interaction with law enforcement of which they are aware of involved traffic tickets, he said.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is at the scene, O’Hara added.
