Thousands of people gathered in Minneapolis Wednesday night for a vigil to mourn the woman shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent earlier that morning. Witnesses say she posed no threat to officers.
Bystander video shows Renee Nicole Good partly blocking a street with her SUV as ICE agents were conducting what the agency calls "targeted operations." Witness videos show that after agents order her out of the vehicle, Good reverses the SUV briefly, then pulls forward and turns to drive away as one agent opens fire.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Good weaponized her vehicle in an act of domestic terror. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says that's a lie.
There's been an outpouring of response around the state and country. Vigils across Minnesota Wednesday, included in Duluth and Mankato.
