Second ICE shooting

The backstory:

Tensions are high in the Twin Cities with thousands of federal agents in the area doing ongoing immigration enforcement operations. Exactly one week after the fatal shooting of Renee Good, there was a second shooting involving an ICE officer Wednesday night in north Minneapolis.

Federal agents were attempting to take a man from Venezuela into custody after a traffic stop Wednesday night when DHS officials say the man attacked the agent. Two other people arrived from a nearby apartment when federal authorities say they also started attacking the officer. The ICE agent fired a defensive shot, striking the Venezuelan man in the leg. The man suffered non-life threatening injuries.

The incident sparked a night of protests and unrest in the area of the shooting scene.
