1 person dead after police shooting on Red Lake Nation, FBI agent says

An individual is dead after a police officer shot at them with their service weapon on the Red Lake Nation Thursday, according to a special agent with the FBI.

The Red Lake Police Department responded to reports regarding a person discharging a firearm in a residential area of the northern Minnesota reservation. FBI Supervisory Special Agent Matthew Vogel said the officer discharged their weapon "at a suspect" after responding. The suspect later died.

The Midwest Medical Examiner's Office will conduct an autopsy and determine the individual's cause of death, according to Vogel.

Officials said the officer was wearing a body camera, which was on during the shooting.

Vogel says there is no ongoing danger to the community and that the FBI is leading the investigation into the incident.

"We ask our members and residents to remain patient and respectful while law enforcement conducts a thorough investigation and to refrain from speculation as the investigative process continues," the Red Lake Nation Public Safety Department said in a news release on Thursday.
