McLaughlin said the man fled in a vehicle, but eventually crashed into a parked car and then drove away. One federal officer gave chase and caught up with the man, who began attacking the FBI.
During their ensuing fight, two other people allegedly got out of a nearby building and attacked the federal officer with a snow shovel and broomstick.
McLaughlin said the officer feared for his life and pulled out a gun, pumping a bullet into the leg of the man he started fighting with.
The assaulted officer and the shooting victim were rushed to a hospital for treatment. Their conditions were not immediately known. McLaughlin said the two other subjects ran back into the building and barricaded themselves inside, but were quickly taken into custody.
The latest shooting comes on the heels of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shoot Renee Good while sitting in her car, also in Minneapolis. Good and her partner had gotten into a dispute with ICE agents over their immigration enforcement operations, leading to the fatal shooting.
President Trump and the Department of Justice have sided with the ICE officer, Jonathan Rosswho describes his action as purely self-defense. Minnesota state officials have a different opinion, labeling what Ross allegedly did as murder.
