Authorities did not immediately provide information on the condition of the shooting victim.
Details surrounding the shooting were not immediately clear. It came amid widespread daily protests in the Twin Cities since the Jan. 7 shooting that left 37-year-old Renee Good dead when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fired at her vehicle.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz denounced “new horrific shootings” by federal agents, two weeks after an immigration enforcement agent (ICE) fatally shot a 37-year-old American woman in Minneapolis.
“I just spoke at the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had enough. It’s despicable,” declared the elected Democrat on X.
