..............
Gov. Tim Walz said he had spoken to the White House about what he called another "sickening" shooting.
"The President must end this operation," he wrote. "Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now."

What we know: Video taken from a nearby business appears to show about a half-dozen agents tackling a person to the ground, before at least one shot rings out.

At least one agent then appears to fire multiple shots toward the man as he lies on the ground.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara confirmed during a news conference that the man later died. The Associated Press initially reported he was 51; O'Hara said authorities believe he was 37.
