A person was shot by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis Saturday morning, officials say.

The shooting occurred on Nicollet Avenue near 26th Street, according to a post on the city’s social media page. No information on the person’s condition was immediately released.

Officials asked members of the public “to remain calm and avoid the immediate area.”

Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin told the Associated Press in a text message that person had a firearm with two magazines and that the situation was “evolving.”

After the shooting, bystanders gathered and screamed profanities at federal officers, calling them “cowards” and telling them to go home. One officer responded mockingly as he walked away, telling them: “Boo hoo.” Agents elsewhere shoved a yelling protester into a car.

Saturday’s shooting is the third in as many weeks by immigration officers in Minneapolis, beginning with the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Good. The second left one man with a gunshot injury to his leg.

Gov. Tim Walz called Saturday’s shooting “sickening,” and demanded that the Department of Homeland Security remove its officers from Minnesota.

“I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning,” Walz wrote on social media. “Minnesota has had it.”

“The President must end this operation,” he wrote. “Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”

The Associated Press contributed to this report. This is a breaking news article and will be updated.
