Federal agents shoot, kill man while serving warrant in north Minneapolis

A man is dead after a shooting involving federal agents Thursday morning in north Minneapolis.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara and Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt spoke briefly Thursday afternoon near the scene, located at Dowling and Dupont Avenues North.

According to O’Hara and Witt, the multi-agency investigation started early in the morning and an armed man barricaded himself inside a home.

Negotiations went on for hours before the man emerged from the home, according to a statement from the FBI.

At around noon, federal agents then shot and killed the man. A woman from the home was taken to a hospital for medical care, although it’s not clear if she was hurt.
