Shots fired after federal police in Minneapolis struggle to subdue man brandishing gun amid protests, video shows​

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.

Why is there a debate about this. Bringing a gun to a protest is wrong and there is no excuse. Justice for Joseph Rosenbaum!

Justice was already served (thanks for giving me an excuse to use one of these memes again, it's been a minute).

Why did the gun go off? Short answer: the SIG P320 is a notoriously dangerous piece of shit and it literally does just go off sometimes.

I was wondering about this since the moment they revealed what gun it was. I have been resisting the urge to make this joke until it was confirmed, but I'll make it now:

Looks like another P320 killed its owner.

It's still an incredibly rare occurrence, not that I would ever buy a P320 but it'd be absolutely wild if that's what kicked off this whole thing.

Even better than that, IIRC St. Kyle also shot him in the dick. In fact all of his shots were perfectly placed to punish his attackers that night: besides Rosenbaum (pedo - shot in the nuts), he also shot Huber (sk8er boi and domestic abuser) in the heart and Grosskreutz (burglar, AKA Byecep) in the arm. I daresay that's as much of a sign that Rittenhouse was divinely guided as the fact that he survived the whole encounter with the mob, if not moreso.

Anyway, so another suicidally retarded commie fag bites the dust, cool beans. I'm sure many other posters have put it in more eloquent terms sometime in the past 17 pages as well as in the other threads about this, but I too am among those whose potential for sympathy for (Not-So-)Pretti and anyone else like him who gets iced by ICE (or whatever other chud stormtroopers people get mad about) died with Charlie Kirk and got unceremoniously dumped into an unmarked grave by the left's celebration of his assassination.

Apparently the kind of person stupid enough to obstruct armed ICE raids while carrying a gun, is the exact type stupid enough to buy a P320 and carry it when he knows it'll get bumped hard.

If this gets officially confirmed, I'm calling this a Darwin Award winner.

MIGA cheers for another White person killed.
He even had a gun permit and was lawfully carrying.
But principles don't matter with team sports politics.

This is how black people think by the way. They will see an objectively horrible human being like George Floyd die resisting the cops and think "AYY NIGGA HE BLACK AND I'M BLACK SO IMMA SCREAM BOUT THIS SHIT". 80 IQ logic.

4. The gun just goes off. No, the agent did not fire the gun. If you look closely, the agent's finger is not on the trigger. The gun just went off. At 0:38 and 0:39 if you go frame by frame you can see what appears to be a muzzle blast and you can see what is definitely the gun suddenly jumping in his hand, both telltale signs that the gun has just discharged. Despite the distance and the video quality, it is still obvious the agent does not have his finger on the trigger.

Can you indicate the frame of the supposed muzzle flash? The only thing that stands out to me is at the time of the shot is what looks more like video artifacting from the white car onto the orange pants, which doesn't even appear to be in the direction the gun is pointed.

This makes me think how it's too bad the crime scene was destroyed by the protesters.

My analysis: the gun went off because it's an unsafe piece of crap, this spooked the ICE agents and they lit him up.

this was actually really helpful because i could not for the life of me figure out why they would back away and do the normal mag dump if one of their own guys had already shot him point blank.

you watch enough bodycam videos or even have actual experience with this type of thing and you know shooting a target when your own guys are all around them is pretty retarded especially at such a close range. its just begging for a bad time. the way they react to the first gun shot is simply also not how you would react if you knew where the shot was coming from.

their reaction was very much the reaction of people who heard a gun shot and assumed the guy with the gun they were just dealing with managed to shoot so naturally they shot back. its an unfortunate case but i think going to a protest with a gun is not really a good idea unless you intend on using it. its only going to rile people up and make the situation more tense.

for some reason i keep seeing retards who think just because they took the gun it means he is unarmed as if everybody has a strict one gun per person rule and will totally never carry multiple guns or maybe a gun and a knife, when the reality is much like you said until the person being detained is in cuffs and has been patted down they are not considered unarmed.

in fact one gun on them implies the chance of more guns so he was most likely deemed armed and dangerous which means just like with regular cops one wrong move and its over.
 
For any redditor reading this: You are a retarded nigger faggot that's about to see why making a Faustian bargain is always a bad idea as your shitlb ideals die. BTW, simping won't get you laid with the fat queen bee of your nerd herd.

The important thing though is ICE agents' arresting power is limited to people they suspect of being in the country illegally, at least according to the policy on their website. I can't see the guy making any threatening gestures with his cell phone prior to being knocked to the ground, so that also rules out self-defense for instigating the take-down.

This is one of those canards that gets people killed. "They're not real cops." "They can't do traffic stops!" "They can't stop citizens!" Stuff that could be easily disproved with one look at the federal statutes but people just repeat it- then some woman decides she can drive away/through feds after obstructing them.

Is this relevant to the current incident? Because he didn't do that first thing, no matter what the NY Post puts in a headline- though I see they've edited that out. We have pretty much every angle of this incident and one thing we know he didn't do was point anything but a phone at cops before he was shot (regardless of whether it was a justified shooting).

We can see on the video the position he was in when they started firing. He was not handcuffed but wasn't pulling anything out. Nobody can be sure someone isn't concealing another firearm at any given moment but that logic can apply to anyone, at anytime. The one guy with the least view of the suspect's hands (he was behind) and maybe had the least awareness of the situation (he seemed surprised by the gun, even after the other agent started grabbing it) was the one who shot first. That's probably because everyone else had a good view of the suspect's hands and knew the gun had been removed by another agent. I wonder if he's the only one who fired?

There's nuance to all of this. I don't see it as some cold-hearted execution. Might very well not be criminal. But it's not good from a use-of-deadly-force perspective. edit: But I guess that won't get me posted on reddit :(
