ICE Officer Fires in Self-Defense Amid Domestic Terror Claims in Minneapolis Shooting
A new video angle, showing an ICE officer fatally shooting a Minneapolis motorist on Wednesday, has emerged on social media
A new video angle has emerged in the fatal Minneapolis shooting of a motorist by an ICE officer on Wednesday. The slow-motion clip appears to show the woman attempting to drive into the agent, prompting him to fire in self-defense, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey disputes the claim, calling it 'garbage' and labeling the federal response as 'chaotic' and 'destructive'.
The incident occurred in a residential neighborhood, just a mile from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020. Homeland Security Secretary (note: Kristi Noem is the Governor of South Dakota, not the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security) did not comment on the statement.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara provided a brief account of the shooting, stating that the 37-year-old driver had been shot in the head after a federal law enforcement officer approached her on foot. The officer fired at least two shots, causing the vehicle to crash.
The controversy surrounding the incident has sparked debate, with social media commentators sharing slow-motion videos of the incident and questioning the use of force. The ICE officer involved is expected to face an investigation into the shooting.
