Just days after the horrific killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good at the hands of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer Jonathan Ross, another Minneapolis resident, as per reports, has been shot by an ICE agent. The shooting incident happened in the 600 block of 24th Avenue North in Minneapolis. The call was reported at about 7:30 pm on Wednesday (Jan 14).
According to reports, at least one person was shot, and two people sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the scuffle. Minneapolis city officials say they’re aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement agents in north Minneapolis on Wednesday evening.
What happened?
Reports suggest that the ICE agent shot a person in the leg after allegedly being attacked with a shovel during an arrest. As per AP News, this happened as a large group of federal agents and Minneapolis Police wearing gas masks fired tear gas into a crowd gathered at a north Minneapolis intersection.
The latest shooting incident happened just about 4.5 miles (7.2 kilometres) north of where Ross fatally shot Good in the head on January 7 as she drove away.

"The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle."
The officer, as per DHS, facing a shovel attack, "fearing for his life and safety," fired "defensive shots to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg." It added that the officer, as well as the man who was shot, is in the hospital. The other two "attackers are in custody," it added.
Slamming Minnesota’s top leaders, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey, the agency claimed that they were “actively encouraging an organised resistance to ICE and federal law enforcement officers.”
"Their hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end. Federal law enforcement officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest criminals and lawbreakers."
