MINNEAPOLIS \u2014 Federal agents shot and killed a person in Minneapolis, state and local officials said Saturday. <\/p>\n

The incident, captured on a video posted to Facebook<\/a> and verified by NBC News, happened in the area of West 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue. <\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area,\u201d the city said in a Facebook post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Though the details of what led to the shooting remain unclear, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said that the suspect who was shot had \u201ca firearm with two magazines.\u201d<\/p>\n

A state official confirmed the man had died.<\/p>\n

Two intersections in South Minneapolis have been blocked from traffic. Dozens of masked federal immigration officers are on the scene, and protesters have started to gather, with some shouting \u201cmurderer\u201d and yelling at agents.<\/p>\n

Officers have let off some tear gas and pepper bombs.<\/p>\n

At least one protester was seen on an NBC News video being taken to the ground and placed in handcuffs after agents started to move demonstrators back from the scene. The protester\u2019s face appeared bloodied when agents picked him up.<\/p>\n

Minneapolis residents said they were frustrated and angry about the continued violence, weeks after Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed<\/a> by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just really infuriates me because they\u2019re going to try to keep coming and they\u2019re going to keep hurting people and we have to keep on standing up,\u201d said Andrew Collier, a Minneapolis resident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t let them get comfortable with what they\u2019re doing,\u201d Collier added. \u201cAnd that means showing up whenever they do something terrible like this, or anytime they\u2019re in our streets.\u201d <\/p>\n

Elisabeth Pletcher, 57, opened the doors to a nearby yoga studio where she works to let protesters take cover from tear gas and pepper bombs. Dozens of protesters and journalists gathered inside, some wiping tear gas out of their eyes, watching the chaotic scene unfold outside.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely atrocious. It is absolutely counter to everything that should be happening in the world,\u201d she said. \u201cWe can be using these resources to feed people and to educate people and to take care of each other, and instead they are sowing fear and violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gov. Tim Walz said he spoke to the White House.<\/p>\n

\u201cMinnesota has had it. This is sickening,\u201d he said in a post on X<\/a>. \u201cThe President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.\u201d<\/p>\n
