From local press based on eyewitnesses:
Screengrab from the Minneapolis Star Tribune: A man was shot in the leg Wednesday night during a federal immigration enforcement operation in north Minneapolis. Witnesses say a series of gunshots followed a car chase and foot chase involving federal agents. The Department of Homeland Security said an agent fired "defensive shots" that hit a man in the leg. The Minnesota Star Tribune is at the scene. Not long before reports of the shooting, Gov. Tim Walz told the Trump administration to "end this occupation" during a live address about the continued surge of federal immigration agents in Minnesota. Walz also called on Minnesotans to protest peacefully and carry their phones with them so that when they see federal agents in their area they can "take out that phone and hit record."
