Officials ID victim as 37-year-old Minneapolis man, ask Trump to end operation

Minneapolis city officials identified the man killed by federal agents as a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen.

Police Chief Brian O'Hara said local authorities have been given "very limited" information about what led to the shooting. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the FBI are at the scene investigating, O'Hara said.

Mayor Jacob Frey said he has seen the video of agents "pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death."

"How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?" Frey said.

Frey called on President Trump to pull federal agents out of the city.

"To President Trump: This is a moment to act like a leader," Frey said. "Put Minneapolis, put America first in this moment. Let's achieve peace. Let's end this operation, and I'm telling you, our city will come back, safety will be restored."

Frey and O'Hara also asked the public to avoid the area of the shooting and asked anyone at the scene protesting to leave. 

"We understand your frustrations," O'Hara said. "This is not sustainable."

O'Hara said the man killed was a "lawful gun owner with a permit to carry." The Department of Homeland Security alleged the man approached officers with a gun.

DHS says officers attempted to disarm person, but they "violently resisted"

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin has released more information Saturday morning, saying the person "violently resisted" before federal agents fired fatal shots. 

McLaughlin says just after 9 a.m. DHS agents were conducting a "targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien" who she says was wanted for violent assault. That's when a person approached Border Patrol officers with a "9 mm semi-automatic handgun."

"The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming," McLaughlin said. "Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene."

McLaughlin added that the person had two magazines and no ID and that it "looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement."

She says more information will be provided later. 

Minneapolis officials later said the man was a "lawful gun owner with a permit to carry." The police chief says DHS has given the city very limited information about what led to the shooting. 

Video of the shooting, which WCCO has reviewed, shows several federal agents surrounding a person on the ground. It appears one of the agents hits the person with a gun several times before several gunshots are heard.

Joy, a 55-year-old woman from Edina, Minnesota, said she had driven up to the scene where federal agents shot and killed a man Saturday morning with her husband after watching footage of the protests on TV.

Her husband was in the crowd, protesting, while she was comforting a woman who was on the verge of a panic attack.

"I just said to her, I said: 'We got this.' This is when we show our resolve as a city because we're better than this. We are under attack by this administration right now and this is not OK. It's just not," she told WCCO's Frankie McLister.

Shooting comes one day after massive march in downtown Minneapolis

Saturday's shooting comes one day after tens of thousands of people marched through downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE's presence in the city. 

Exact numbers are not known, but organizers expected 50,000 people to attend the march, which started near U.S. Bank Stadium and ended with a rally at Target Center.

A woman attending the protest told WCCO she's a teacher who was showing up for her students.

"I'm a high school teacher. They're scared. They are scared to wait at the bus. They are scared for their friends. Children of color are scared to be out on the streets and in their cars. They've been cornered. They've been detained. They've been questioned. Their families have been detained. They're scared for their lives. They're scared for their families," the woman said.

Organizers called for a general strike on Friday, as well, urging Minnesotans to abstain from school, work and shopping to demonstrate against the federal presence in the state.
