Federal Agent Kills Woman in Her Car: Official Stories Clash

A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed a woman in Minnesota on Wednesday. The fatal shooting happened while the woman was inside her car. However, federal police and local officials immediately gave conflicting reports about what led to the shooting. ICE stated its officer was conducting official duties when the incident occurred. In contrast, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the state's leading investigative agency, said the ICE officer was not on official duty at the time. The identity of the woman has not been released. The ICE officer involved has been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure. The state bureau is now leading the investigation into the shooting. Both ICE and local police say they are cooperating with the probe.
