McLaughlin said the man fled in a vehicle but eventually crashed into a parked car and then ran off. One federal officer gave chase and caught up to the man, who began assaulting the fed.

During their ensuing battle, two other people allegedly stepped out of a building nearby and attacked the federal officer with a snow shovel and broom stick.
McLaughlin said the officer feared for his life and pulled a gun, pumping a bullet into the leg of the man with whom he started fighting.

The officer who was attacked and the shooting victim were rushed to a hospital for treatment. Their conditions were not immediately known. McLaughlin said the two other subjects dashed back inside the building and barricaded themselves inside, but were soon taken into custody.

The latest shooting comes on the heels of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent gunning down Renee Good as she sat inside her vehicle, also in Minneapolis. Good and her partner had gotten into a dispute with ICE officers over their enforcement immigration operations, leading to the fatal shooting.

President Trump and the Department of Justice have sided with the ICE officer, Jonathan Ross, describing his action as purely self-defense. Minnesota state officials have a different take, labeling what Ross allegedly did as murder.
