Shots fired after federal police in Minneapolis struggle to subdue man brandishing gun amid protests, video shows
NY Post ^ | 1/24/26 | Kathianne Boniello, Geoff Earle

Shots rang out in Minneapolis early Saturday after federal police tried to subdue a man who was waving around a gun, according to law enforcement sources and video posted to social media.

A 39-second clip showed about half a dozen cops struggling with someone on the sidewalk in front of a donut shop at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, when the gunfire erupted.

The officers appeared to scatter after the shot went off, according to the footage.

The shooting happened after the man brandished a firearm with two magazines, a law enforcement source told The Post.

In a statement, city officials urged residents to stay calm and avoid the area.

“We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details,” the statement said.

Looks like there were others trying to fight the cops and maybe they shot the guy.

That's entirely possible. These left wing lunatics would be more than willing to sacrifice one of their own, then turn around and blame ICE for the shooting.

I can see it becoming overwhelming. Too many kooks out there and it doesn’t take much. Let me say again the cops should be outfitted with nunchucks. Hit them on the arms and they’ll retreat.

It should be interesting to watch lefty strategists demand second amendment rights for violent mob protesters. My guess is that they will blame Trump for “having to go to such extremes, normally only seen by racist white, right wing bigots, in order to exercise their rights”. (Or something like that)

FAFO...anyway, there will be no hard facts until the Left agrees on their collective spin.

In the mean time, some real ‘journalists’ could make their career outta this stuff...oh well.

Was one of those magazines National Geographic? As a teen I was really interested in some of those pictures of tribal African women.

I’d say the chances of Minneapolis burning tonight just went up a bit.

Looks to be a custom Sig 226. Who throws down with the cops with a $2,000 piece? Arizona Attorney General needs to remind her constituents that shooting a cop will not end well.

From the reaction of the officers, it appears he had pulled out a weapon. Some were pulling away right before the first sound of gunfire.

Even during his first term I was saying that in order to deal with all the corruption and leftist lunacy, Trump would have to take actions (legal) that would unfortunately make him look like the dictator they falsely claim that he is.
