Minneapolis police alerts public after reports of shooter involving federal agents

Minneapolis authorities are investigating reports of a possible shooting involving federal law enforcement in the city’s Whittier neighborhood early Saturday morning.

The City of Minneapolis confirmed on X that it is aware of reports of a shooting involving federal agents near 26th Street West and Nicollet Avenue and is working to verify additional details. Officials asked the public to “remain calm and avoid the immediate area” while authorities continue to gather information.
