“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said.

There is video

    Waiting for the “It was totally self defense so I shot her in the freakin’ face a bunch of times.” Fucking cowards. I hope you all get the brazen bull.

      DHS released this as an official statement:

      ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.

      An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots. He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers. The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. The ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.

      Of course… there’s video online of the incident already, and naturally it shows that that statement is complete horseshit (not that anybody had any doubts about that). This will probably get taken down soon, but here (NSFL):

      Video is posted to Bluesky. The agent walks up to her car window and starts shooting almost immediately. One through the windshield the others through the driver’s side window.
