The shooting took place at East 34th and Portland Avenue, with few details released, except that one person was shot.
Democrat Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said he is aware of the shooting as he slammed the Trump administration for sending federal agents to his city.
“The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city,” said Frey.
“We’re demanding ICE to leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities.”
UPDATE: Things are spiraling fast in Minneapolis, as locals begin to fill the streets and a surge of ICE arrive after the shooting.
