Shots rang out in Minneapolis early Saturday after federal police tried to subdue a man who was waving around a gun, according to law enforcement sources and video posted to social media.

A 39-second clip showed about half a dozen cops struggling with someone on the sidewalk in front of a donut shop at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, when the gunfire erupted.

The officers appeared to scatter after the barrage of shots went off, according to the footage.



The shooting happened after the man brandished a firearm with two magazines, a law enforcement source told The Post, sharing a photo of the firearm.

In a statement, city officials urged residents to stay calm and avoid the area.


“We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details,” the statement said.

More than 100 protesters had been at the scene when the encounter occurred. The man’s condition was not immediately known.





On Friday, protesters yelled obscenities at two people wearing plain clothes who they believed to be agents after protesters claimed their rental car was linked to the incident, according to video reviewed by The Post.

Neither person was an officer.



Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) posted about the incident on X late morning Saturday as the details of the shooting were still unfolding.

“I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening,” he wrote.

“The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”


Neither the White House or the Department of Homeland Security have said what precipitated the shooting, and did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Despite what the Post says about the protestor's condition, Fox News is reporting he died. Spiciness inbound.

Lmfao, as if Reddit is somehow a more accurate measurement of what people IRL think. Reddit is heavily censored. At least we're not censored here.

The beauty of KF is that it is a truth-seeking forum. Conservatives here aren't afraid to say "oh yeah, looks like the cop fucked up" even if they are LOLing at the circumstances of guy's death. When the shoe is on the other foot, Redditors bend over backwards to create a St. Floyd fantasy around "their guy," and if that is impossible because it is a leftist mass shooter or something they just lie and tell each other it was ACSHUALLY A REPUBLICAN until the hive mind agrees on the consensus that leftists can do no wrong.

All the videos I've seen start in the middle of the struggle or when the ICE officer starts pushing him back. Does anyone have the video of the actual beginning of the confrontation? Where he supposedly walked into the middle of the street to confront ICE or when the actual physical struggle began?

Dear leftoids: Please keep sending more retards to their deaths with your braindead rhetoric. You're doing the gene pool a huge favor.

This thread featured on reddit today, watch your backs.

Hi, Take a look at us Kiwifarmers.

 

[my penis is on fire]

I hope the feds do the thing they're good at, investigating themselves and finding no wrongdoing

Looks like another P320 killed its owner.

Well, on positive side it keeping up to its reputation.

That someone can spend 13 years on this website and still be such a poor, uninspired, frankly dull shit-talker is a very sad thing.

Sad little cunt types the same thing out every time, and he's proud of how quickly he can type it.

Judging by this analysis posted by @WhoBusTank69, it seems as though the cause of death was being a Sigger, since it appears to have gone off while it was being carried off by ICE officers. Just another reason why carrying Sig will get you killed.

I wonder if he began to regret his decisions as the bullets tore his flesh and shattered his bones and his lifeblood seeped onto the uncaring concrete

I've never actually seen someone advocate for Israeli carry before. If your gun can't safely be carried chambered in a proper holster, whether constrained by a long heavy trigger, the fucking holster or a manual safety, it's a bad gun for carry.

It's not so much the gun as the user. In an ideal world carrying with one in the chamber is fine and dandy, but that requires a competent and well-practiced carrier to not botch it when shit's gone crazy and they're hopped up on adrenaline. Bob the Rando who hits the range once a month is not such a person. I suspect the vast majority of concealed carriers are not such a person, either. Being able to safely operate a gun at the range is not the same as being able to safely operate it when someone's mag dumping three feet from your ear or some crazy fucker is waving around a machete.

The average military member gets range training once every 3 years.

Yet you're worried about Bob the Rando being armed because he only goes to the range to practice 12 times a year?

Somehow retards will still defend the protester and start glowposting about how actually it is ok to wave firearms, registered or otherwise, around in the presence of several armed alphabet boys. This country is fucked with an electorate like this.

I imagine cognitive ability doesn’t do so hot as your body suffers massive immediate traumas and tries to prioritize 500 different ways to say you’re fucked dude. Not much RAM left to self-reflect I would think. But I am not a doctor so don’t take my word on it

how actually it is ok to wave firearms

No firearm was waved that was false news.

Not much RAM left to self-reflect

Self reflection during death is actually why we have so many people who say their life flashed before their eyes in their near death experience. The brain literally redirects all processing power to go through your every memory and experience to find a life saving solution to the predicament you're in.

I wouldn't be so confident in that "processing power" explanation. Prey often go slack in the mouths of their predators; there's no salvation possible for them.

who carries a optic-ed up 320 on the strong-side hip to a protest?

To be fair I wouldn't want to go about Minneapolis unarmed either, what with all the Somalis around and such.

He was just trying to make sure he was safe from the people whose presence he was trying to enable.

I know left wing commentators are just going to be stupid but I wish so called 'right leaning' commentators like Asmongold would realize that ICE cannot freeze time zooming in on different angles, going frame by frame, and AI enhancing details to figure out whether they should take a shot during a few second long struggle.

That’s incredibly dependent on how the person is dying I would say. A person slowly dying from cancer is not the same as a person literally suffering multiple organ failure, blood loss, oxygen deprivation, tachycardia, and going into shock.

You're right, trauma is a much more common factor for your life flashing before your eyes than your body being eaten by a disease. I am not a neural scientist, but I would assume the brain does a lot of incredible things in the former while having time and energy to accept the latter over the months to years of the expectation of death.

Considering I have been in some traumatic injury situations and I didn’t flash shit I am gonna press doubt

Hell I don’t even remember getting run over.
