Federal brokers shoot man in Minneapolis, Gov. Tim Walz confirms

Federal agents were involved in another shooting in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, Gov. Tim Walz has confirmed.

“I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now,” Walz said in a tweet.

Officials in the city had earlier alluded to the social media report around the incident.

“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.”

Video seen by The Independent shows a group of agents wrestling with a man on a city street before at least ten shots are fired. The circumstances that led up to the shooting are unknown at this point.

The Minnesota Star-Tribune reports that the man was shot in the chest and has been rushed to a nearby hospital. His condition is unknown.

Fox News’ Bill Melugin tweeted that a Department of Homeland Security source said that the suspect was armed. Melguin then posted a picture of a handgun in a car seat that allegedly belonged to the wounded man.
