Federal agents kill another person in Minneapolis, officials say, prompting clash with protesters
A person is dead after a shooting in Minneapolis earlier on Saturday involving federal immigration agents from Customs and Border Protection, a U.S. official with knowledge of the incident tells CBS News.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said he has spoken to the White House "after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning."
"Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now," Walz said.
The shooting occurred near Nicollet Avenue and 26th Street in south Minneapolis. City officials identified the victim as a man. Federal agents and protesters are clashing in the area, and WCCO reporter Adam Duxter confirmed agents deployed chemical irritants.
"We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area," a social media statement from the city read.
Two Department of Homeland Security officials told CBS News the person shot had a firearm.
Saturday's killing comes less than three weeks after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot Renee Good in south Minneapolis.

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.

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.
