 Woman fatally shot by ICE officer in Minneapolis identified, hundreds of mourners show up at vigil

Woman shot dead by ICE officer in Minneapolis identified, hundreds of mourners gather for breaking news vigil. This is an agent using reckless force that resulted in someone's death. What they're doing is creating chaos and distrust, which is Mayor Frye's message to the snow.

When a woman was shot by one of their agents. Thanks for joining us. We start the four today with this breaking news.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says the woman was committing a domestic terrorism offense. LCALOFFICILS isn't so sure.

This bystander video shows the angle of what happened. However, please be aware that it may be disturbing to some.

Oh my God, did you hear those shots? Three shots were fired in an accident, and then witnesses ran to help the woman who was shot.

Federal authorities say the driver was trying to pull over an ICE agent. We're reproducing your live team coverage of this breaking news.

We're going to start with the white man in Minneapolis, who has been on the scene since the shooting this morning. Connor Good. The scene was heartbreaking.

Some eight hours later, Ice shot and killed a 37-year-old woman, whom  we heard the Observer describe as a

A person who was not necessarily the person Ice was targeting.

We'll go back to the video obtained by Bystander that shows the moments leading up to the shooting.

A neighbor heard a commotion around 9:45 this morning. So he came outside and started filming. Focus here on the Honda. It starts to back up and then move forward.

At that same time, you hear several gunshots. Carthage ran into others across the street. Now DHS is claiming it was all in self-defense.

Perspectives from I.S.I.S. led Mayor Jacob Frey to call the forced narrative, quote, 'trash.' The scene remained very active for hours, with angry protesters responding in kind.

At one point, federal agents used tear gas and other chemical agents as they tried to clear the scene. The man who shot the video,

We showed you above here, says he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. It doesn’t look like any kind of unjustified force was being used.

There’s nothing outside my house. I’ve lived here for two years. I’ve never seen anything like this. The person was moving. No one died after the police left,

Some protesters followed the police down the street toward downtown. A vigil has begun with people offering words of grief, tears, comfort, and peace.

Some people are singing this evening as well. Now, the witness who showed us that video also described the race to help the woman and get medical attention.

Who was shot and killed here with a snowball? We will bring the youth.

Protests are underway in Minnesota after a fatal ICE-involved shooting

Protests continue in Minnesota after a fatal ICE-involved Austin shooting. West Ball. We're going to watch it live above. Crowds of protesters.

In the Twin Cities. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a Minneapolis driver earlier today. This is the story we've been following all day.

It's a shooting that federal officials said was an act of self-defense, but was called reckless and unnecessary by the Minneapolis mayor, the AP says.

The 37-year-old woman was shot during a traffic stop in a snowy residential neighborhood in front of a family member, identified as a

A senior citizen of the city south of Minneapolis. She described herself as a mother, a wife, and a poet. According to the New York Post. Videos taken from various vantage points,

An approaching SUV shows an officer stopping in the middle of the road and demanding the driver open the door and grab the handle. The Honda Pilot begins to pull forward.

And the various ICE officers standing in front of the vehicle draw their weapons and immediately fire at least 2 shots into the vehicle at close range. The vehicle sped toward him, jumping back.

Again, oh, this is a story we will continue to follow all night, especially as we hear. There are protests. Planned in major cities across the country.

In light of what happened today. Standing with Jeffrey Halstead in Minneapolis. He is the former police chief of Fort Worth, Texas. That's where the Fort Worth Police Department is.

Jeffrey, in his experience. What should federal and local use-of-force policies do? It's usually said to be shooting at or near a moving vehicle.

And what specific facts would there be to justify an officer legally shooting a driver who is blocking the road?

And then starting to drive. Yes, the complication is shooting at a moving vehicle. Do you know, we've really changed our training in 2 decades.

To accommodate the use of deadly force, because, unlike in the movies, a bullet will not stop the threat of a moving vehicle, in incidents like this.

You saw 1 agent approaching the vehicle. It's highly discouraged and also high-level police training and tactical training because of approaching a moving vehicle.

The more likely you are to be dragged down the road, and you are actually putting yourself in harm's way, and who reacts to the increase in force.

So a large number of mistakes in the beginning. But then, when you look at the totality of these situations, it's milliseconds. This is happening. And, you know, drivers probably want to get out of a very delicate situation.

 woman,.And an angry mob, and then the officers, they want to stop talking any further. And then when someone is targeted, and then deployed forces are used,

You have to continue that investigation, and it has to be completed before you can make those decisions because it is a consistent policy of the city, county, state, and county law enforcement regarding the use of deadly force in a moving vehicle.

It will not stop your risk.  Woman, you need to assess your own situation and make adjustments.

So that you can de-escalate and calm these escalating issues. Very, very quickly. A few moments ago, we heard from the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Christy Gnome.

Um, DHS says the driver was trying to run over officers. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, on the other hand, says the video doesn't support Jeffrey in his defense.

When these kinds of narratives are told. What pieces of evidence are most conclusive? Is it something like a body camera, radio, and traffic? Witness statements,

And how do investigators weigh each of these types of evidence for credibility? Uh, all the individuals' perspectives are going to outweigh your most compelling evidence.

What's going on here? It's not good for this situation, and it's not good for the community. It's just taking a hard. This urgent conversation that's happening with very powerful elected officials.

This investigation needs to move forward and come to a conclusion before these rash decisions are made, with, uh, when you look at these conversations,

So the body cam video is undoubtedly from the perspective of these officers, which is extremely compelling. Witness statements, bullet fragments, and the way the bullet went through,

You know, when it was deployed from a handgun, that helps. But all of that takes a lot of time, and to assess within an hour,

whether it's legitimate or not, or whether it's almost reckless. You have to let the professionals go and remember to keep these investigative weapons completely away from both of those elements.

You have a state and an FBI. Let those investigations proceed, but in the context of these body cameras and other video, there will be a little bit of light for the split-second decisions.

Those were made.  Woman, and also with respect to the passing driver, that's going to be good too.
