A federal officer shot a person in the leg in Minneapolis after being attacked with a shovel during an arrest Wednesday, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

The person cautioned the information was still preliminary, and the investigation was in its early stages. The person could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.

The shooting took place about 4.5 miles (7.2 kilometers) north of where an immigration agent fatally shot Renee Good in the head on Jan. 7 as she drove away.

    We know they lie brazenly even when it’s all on video so this should be immediately rejected unless there’s evidence it happened that way.

    That said, we are in a moment where defensive violence is very clearly ethically justified, if perhaps not always tactically wise.

    Walz added that “accountability” will be coming through the courts.

    Ah, sweet liberal fantasies. When the system fails you just need to trust it harder.
