The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene, and according to Bovino, the individual “wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.” “If you obstruct a law enforcement officer… you are in violation of the law and will be arrested,” Bovino told reporters. Seventy-five minutes late to the press conference, Bovino answered two questions, offering minimal details on the suspect’s firearm before promising that further “facts will come to light.” The incident is the third shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis in less than three weeks, following the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE officer and a separate injury shooting earlier in the month.
