DHS confirms ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that an ICE agent shot a person in the leg as the person reportedly tried to evade arrest. During the pursuit ICE agents were reportedly assaulted by the person and two others with a snow shovel and a broomstick.
The other side:
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said federal agents were conducting a "targeted traffic stop of an illegal alien from Venezuela."
The agency added that the suspect tried to flee the scene and crashed into a parked car, and the man continued to flee on foot. The ICE agent then caught up with the suspect, who "began to resist and violently assault the officer," according to DHS.
Two other people then reportedly came out of a nearby apartment and attacked the ICE agent with a snow shovel and a broom handle, DHS said. The original suspect then got loose and stuck the agent with one of the objects.
DHS says the ICE agent then fired a "defensive shot," striking the man in the leg.
The suspect then entered the house and refused to come out before agents entered the home and took him into custody.
The suspect was taken to the hospital and is now in custody, DHS said. The ICE agent was also taken to the hospital, DHS said.
DHS said the two other attackers were also taken into custody.
