Minneapolis shooting live updates: Witness describes shooting in federal court filing


« The events of this weekend in Minneapolis are terrifying, deeply disturbing, and heartbreaking — with yet another U.S. citizen losing their life while taking part in the time-honored and Constitutionally protected activity of being present to observe and peacefully advocate for their beliefs, » attorney Antonio Romanucci said in a statement.

Good, a 37-year-old mother and Minneapolis resident, was shot and killed by a federal agent on Jan. 7. Federal officials say that the agents acted in self-defense after Good tried to ram them with her car in what they have labeled an act of domestic terrorism. Local officials have disputed that characterization.

Romanucci’s statement comes a day after a 37-year-old man was shot and killed Saturday morning in Minneapolis, the second shooting of a U.S. citizen this month by federal agents in the city.

The Department of Homeland Security alleged that Pretti approached Border Patrol agents with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun, and « violently resisted » when agents tried to disarm him. Local officials have disputed that characterization.

« We urge all Americans to trust their own eyes as they interpret the horrific video, and to call for an absolute end to ICE activity in Minneapolis, » Romanucci said. « ICE agents can leave Minneapolis. The residents of Minnesota cannot. We call for a complete and immediate end to the ICE invasion of this beautiful American city. »
