MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal immigration officers have shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of protesters in a city already shaken by another fatal shooting weeks earlier.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said a 37-year-old man was killed Saturday but declined to identify him.
He added that information about what led up to the shooting was limited.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement that federal officers were conducting an operation as part of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and fired “defensive shots” after a man with a handgun approached them.
O’Hara said police believe the man was a “lawful gun owner with a permit to carry.”
