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.

I really cannot wait for that name to come out. It's always fascinating what people find. Guy really could be ex-ICE like some have said. Or he could be from Mars for all we know. There is so little predictability anymore.

His name is already out Alex Pretti

Wikipedia already has an article up about it, framing it in their usual completely unbiased fashion.

Into the unknown I go

I'm sure it just happens everyone behind him is female.

 

[TowinKarz]

He's now Pretti dead....

MIGA cheers for another White person killed.
He even had a gun permit and was lawfully carrying.
But principles don't matter with team sports politics.
Truly the kikes never had a better populace under their control.

I'll always celebrate a dead traitor

Granted, my history lessons are from the other side of the pond, but I don't remember any instances of revolutionaries walking up to the Redcoats, fucking around like an absolute sped, and then everybody crying about it when they inevitably ate shit.
Is there an online source where I could read up on this? Maybe a Museum of Revolutionary Speds I could visit?

Ever heard of the Boston massacre?

That's basically what you describe, although you could argue about to which extent that mob were fucking around like absolute speds.

*crosses fingers* Be a Nigger so people start burning blue cities down in the middle of deathly freezing weather.

I’m fairly sure this is his LinkedIn. University of Minnesota, medical degree, was known to be a nurse

Soybeard reddit protestors and wine aunt pittie mommies are spiritual niggers, nigger chimps out at dem wypipo pigs, Q.E.D.

Deport all anti-ICE faggots to the worst third-world ghettos possible. They can have their "open borders" bullshit there instead.

I wish there was a Museum of Revolutionary Speds. I'd buy a Tshirt.

Guy really could be ex-ICE like some have said. Or he could be from Mars for all we know. There is so little predictability anymore.

Plot twist: he was ICE and they were fighting over the last donut.

 

[Salty Potatoes]

Why the fuck was he waving a gun around

The person shot by ICE was just standing there filming. This is how the interaction started.

Notice how they didn't shoot the man standing in the middle of the street, illegally blocking traffic, immediately. They shot him after he grabbed for his gun.

 

[FunPosting101]

Another idiot who tried to help the illegal invasion of the country got what they had coming, and I'm okay with that. This is literally what I voted for, more dead leftists please.

“Why even fight the British Empire they literally rule so much land the sun never sets on it idiots!”


“Why even own guns the government has tanks and jets and missiles you gun nut!”

The people trying to stop ICE, are literally fighting for a bad idea, that of open borders with no real screening process at all. Their deaths are entirely deserved and their cause is fundamentally wrong, so I'm perfectly fine with them being shot dead like the commie scum that they are. Cry harder, faggot.

 

[babyDunk]

Looks like this is a migger L

 

[Seethecoper]

If he really was lawfully carrying, and the agent just freaked out when he saw the gun in its holster and the guy wasn't even going for it, then that's fucked up. I want all illegals to get deported so the billionaire farm owners don't have any more slave labor, but letting glowies kill people exercising their rights and cheering for it is nigger-tier

HE NEVER HELD THE GUN. HE NEVER THREATENED LAW ENFORCEMENT THIS WAS A BAD SHOOT ON A LEGALLY ARMED CITIZEN BY OINKY HOGS POWER TRIPPING ON SUGAR RUSH FROM THE LOCAL DONUT SHOP.

BOOTLICKERS WILL DEFEND THIS AND PROVE HOW MUCH 2A DOESN’T MEAN SHIT.

okay fuck yes I am going to spend the rest of the day celebrating cya bros!

 

[Day of the Cope]

What was his melanin count

Ain't no fucking black people protesting outside in negative degree weather.

Deporting illegals is super important work but the administration should cool it with the antagonizing shit

Nah, we're well past the point of "cooler heads prevail" after 4 years under Biden.

The unprofessional behavior irks normies and it is very possible that the pendulum will swing back especially if the economy faulters.

I don't known how to tell you this, but the normies don't care that some nigger lover gets domed because they want to protect child rapists. So far, the only ones I've seen whining about all this are people who don't live in America or terminally online losers.
