This is a one-way street south of downtown Minneapolis.
Federal agents are heard telling the driver, ma'am, get out of the car.

At this point, the driver begins to reverse on the icy street.
As the officer hangs on the door, the driver begins to drive away from the scene.
And then an officer in front of the SUV appears to fire into the car three times.
