Shots rang out in Minneapolis early Saturday after federal police tried to subdue a man who was waving around a gun, according to law enforcement sources and video posted to social media.

A 39-second clip showed about half a dozen cops struggling with someone on the sidewalk in front of a donut shop at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, when the gunfire erupted.

The officers appeared to scatter after the barrage of shots went off, according to the footage.



The shooting happened after the man brandished a firearm with two magazines, a law enforcement source told The Post, sharing a photo of the firearm.

In a statement, city officials urged residents to stay calm and avoid the area.


“We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details,” the statement said.

More than 100 protesters had been at the scene when the encounter occurred. The man’s condition was not immediately known.





On Friday, protesters yelled obscenities at two people wearing plain clothes who they believed to be agents after protesters claimed their rental car was linked to the incident, according to video reviewed by The Post.

Neither person was an officer.



Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) posted about the incident on X late morning Saturday as the details of the shooting were still unfolding.

“I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening,” he wrote.

“The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”


Neither the White House or the Department of Homeland Security have said what precipitated the shooting, and did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Despite what the Post says about the protestor's condition, Fox News is reporting he died. Spiciness inbound.

So far, I'm pretty happy with the lefts interactions with law enforcement. They keep committing suicide by cop and it will never stop being hilarious.

*laying face down while covered in federal agents* I can probably shoot my way out of this.

 

[regalterry]

He deserved it, and even if he didn't, he's a liberal so he still deserved it.

Burn in Hell you filthy Marxist vermin.

 

[Nero Fiddled]

Another "peaceful protester" who dindunuffin.

I wonder how many more retards are going to FAFO before they finally get the message that they LOST the election to the majority and are no longer calling the shots.

Well now I'm not going to do it.

You never were anyway or you’d just have fix it before posting unless you just had to be THE FIRST TO POST THIS FOR THE HECKIN UPDOOTS or something

“The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.” [Walz said]

Tell your illegal immigrant supporters that federal law enforcement officials are fascist dictators who must be confronted for daring to enforce US immigration law, get illegal immigrant supporter you incited killed by said federal law enforcement officials for brandishing a weapon at them, then demand that the lawful enforcement of US immigration law be stopped. Makes sense. Fuck that chinese commie loving Walz.

Why the fuck was he waving a gun around

Because he probably believed Walz, Frey, and the other retarded people saying that ICE can't arrest anyone outside of immigration infractions so he thought he could get away with it. Play stupid games and all.

The tragedies will continue until the marxists have full control over the us government. I mean, until ice is out of Minneapolis.

Come on, man. How's the boy?

They should burn downtown Minneapolis to the ground. Destructive riots always hurt black neighborhoods and lefty cities the worst, and they often take decades to recover. It's always funny when blacks and liberals cut off their noses to spite their faces.
