What’s really happening in Minnesota?
The incident, the third shooting involving Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis this year, occurred shortly after 9 a.m. Central Time on the city’s South Side when federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation against a man the Department of Homeland Security said was undocumented and armed, and wanted for “violent assault.” Another individual approached the federal agents with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun, DHS said.
“The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted,” DHS said in its statement.

DHS said the man who approached them had two gun magazines and no identification. The federal officer feared for his life and fired defensive shots. The agency did not publicly identify the dead man.
“This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement,” the agency said.
But Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said at a news conference Saturday afternoon that the victim was a 37-year-old white male resident of the city who is believed to be a U.S. citizen. His only known interaction with police was for traffic tickets, O’Hara said.
“We believe he is a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry,” O’Hara said.

“We were not provided any public safety statement around the incident…” he said.
