00:00At 9.05 a.m. Central Time, the Department of Homeland Security law enforcement officials and officers were conducting targeted operations in Minneapolis against an illegal alien whose criminal history included domestic assault with intentionally inflicting bodily harm, disorderly conduct, and driving without a valid license.
00:21An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a 9-millimeter semi-automatic handgun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently.
00:34Fearing for his life and for the lives of his fellow officers around him, an agent fired defensive shots.
00:40Medics were on the scene immediately and attempted to deliver medical aid to the subject, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
00:47The suspect also had two magazines with ammunition in them that held dozens of rounds. He also had no ID.
00:55This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.
01:03About hundreds of protesters then showed up at the scene. They began to obstruct and to assault law enforcement officers.
01:10We saw objects being thrown at them, including ice and other objects, and a rampant assault began, and even an HSI officer agent's finger was bitten off.
01:23Crowd control measures were deployed to bring safety to the public and to law enforcement at the scene.
01:29And once again, I want to remind everybody that this situation and this tragedy did not have to happen.
01:34This individual showed up to impede a law enforcement operation and assaulted our officers.
01:48They responded according to their training and took action to defend the officer's life and those of the public around him.
01:56And I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.
02:04This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons and are using them to assault law enforcement officers.
02:26This is a violentseven and torture of the venerable side that showed up to the police.
