Video Shows Federal Agents Shooting Man in Minneapolis

Source: Huffpost

Jan 24, 2026, 11:01 AM EST

A man was shot by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, according to eyewitnesses.

Video shows at least six masked agents wrestling a man to the ground before shooting him multiple times. It’s unclear what started the confrontation.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports the man was transported to the hospital in unknown condition.

The video was taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts where an employee confirmed the shooting happened.

I can't believe what I see in this video. As soon as the shots are fired, the dead is left completely alone. No one is helping the victim. It's like he has cooties all of the sudden. The victim is left for dead and they just move along. Nothing to see here. Go away. Get the gurney and take the poor sap away.

THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY AND INSANE.

I haven't seen any coverage yet, but I'm sure the Gestapo will come up with some sort of spin to make this the victim's fault.

The instant tRump pardoned the J6 insurrectionists I knew they were going to be used for something like this.

Imagine if a half dozen protesters had assaulted a cop, thrown him to the ground, beat him mercilessly, pinned him face down to the cold concrete, and then shot him ten times and killed him. Would anyone then say "but wait, the cop might have had a gun?" as though that could justify the protesters' actions?

21. DHS claims the guy was armed
Sat Jan 24, 2026, 12:45 PM
Jan 24

You will understand if I don't believe a word of the DHS statement.

A man shot while surrounded by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday was armed, according to a Department of Homeland Security official who said the individual “had a firearm with two magazines.”

The situation, the official noted, is evolving and provided a photo of the purported firearm, which appears to be a Sig Sauer Emperor Scorpion.

It’s not clear whether the man was holding the gun when he was shot. It is also unclear if he had a permit to carry the firearm, which is required in the state.

it does't look like he was holding it or pointing it at them. Carrying a gun with a permit doesn't warrant an execution. And by the way - where are all the second amendment worshippers?

They’re well over $1000, and they’re .45 caliber. This isn’t a gun for criminals - wrong caliber and way too expensive. However, they’re great duty weapons for cops.

The question I have is, does ICE really use their own primary duty weapons as drop guns?

Looks like they were beating him to to death, with one of the agents clearly using a gun to beat the guy in the head with it. Then one of their guns discharged, maybe the idiot who was using his gun like a brass knuckle.

Looks like when one of the agent’s guns discharged, that spooked the rest and they ran off from the immediately limp body. Apparently then one or two of them got the bright idea to then make sure the guy was dead by filling his body with bullets. This is one of the sickest things I have ever seen.

Like Rodney King, but they shot the guy in addition to beating him.

Early DHS statement was that he was approaching the agents and he was brandishing a gun. If that were really the case would 7 of the agents really have swarmed him and beat him like that? I don't think so, they would have shot and killed him at a distance. The cover-up has already begun.

Sat Jan 24, 2026, 01:16 PM
Jan 24

Just watch how the ICE agent pranced across the street after murdering Renee Good. He was not "RUN OVER," he was on the side of her car. Afterward, his misogynistic epithet directed at Good showed the only harm was to a fragile ego that was irritated that she deigned to inconvenience him.

This kind of soulless attitude is indicative of pre-Rwandan genocide where racist radio broadcasts were pumped out 24/7 calling their neighbors cockroaches and other dehumanizing rhetoric.

Donald and Kristi sound like they learned at the feet of those who instigated that abhorrent inflaming of centuries-old hate.

Hate begets hate and more violence.

I look forward to future fleshing out of this story.

This has to STOP NOW.

34. Police chief defies ICE as agents try to block local cops from latest Minneapolis shooting

The police refused to be blocked by ICE from investigating this murder

ICE attempted to block local police officers from the scene of another Minneapolis shooting Saturday — but the city's police chief defied their orders.

ICE attempted to block local police officers from the scene of another Minneapolis shooting Saturday — but the city's police chief defied their orders.

The federal agents attempted to demand the city's police officers stay away after gunshots rang out Saturday morning, but Chief Brian O'Hara refused, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.

A video, apparently shot by a witness, shows Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents wrestling a man to the ground. One officer appears to strike the person with what looks like a firearm before several shots are heard.

O'Hara confirmed a man had died, as crowds of furious onlookers gathered.

Sources told the Tribune O'Hara refused ICE's demands and instructed his officers to preserve the scene. All available local police officers have been called into work.

Minnesota officials have complained that they were frozen out of the investigation of the deadly shooting of Renee Good by ICE earlier this month.

Ah,yes. The refreshing era of alternate facts, accounts and narratives in the alternate universe of Trump ‘16 onward. Our overlords get to teach you their reality of any given abuse of rights, body and freedom. Just lay down and submit. It will all go away if you turn off your eyes, ears and logic. Reality is so outdated.

He did not have the gun when he was murdered. There was no self defense motive at all.
It looks like they executed him because he had been carrying a gun, which was legal.
