We've also reached Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara.
Welcome.
Hi, Chief.
So the 37-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the hospital.
I was watching, I saw at a news conference this afternoon, you described her as white, as not the subject of any immigration actions.
Do we have that all right?
Thank you for clarifying.
What is in dispute is why she was shot.
Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin is on record saying, and I quote, an ICE officer fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement, and the safety of the public fired defensive shots, end quote.
Defensive shots.
Was this an act, as far as you can tell, of self-defense?
So you're saying wait for the investigation.
There are videos, as I'm sure you know, videos of the shooting that are circulating online.
An ICE officer appears to be shooting into the front window of a moving vehicle.
Have you seen these videos, Chief?
What do you make of them?
I do want to ask just about the ICE footprint in your city.
Officials in Minneapolis and state officials, the governor of Minnesota, have been weighing in.
The mayor had strong words saying ICE should get out.
I want to play for you.
