What happened in the Minneapolis shooting incident?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. A Border Patrol agent has shot and killed a man in Minneapolis whom officials say was apparently a U.S. citizen. Senator Amy Klobuchar identified him as 37-year-old Alex Preddy. Immigration officials say they were targeting a person they say is an undocumented person, and the man who died approached them with a weapon.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says officers tried to disarm him, but the man allegedly violently resisted. Governor Tim Walz says video show that's not true. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry blames the Trump administration.
The city of Minneapolis is filing a declaration after today's shooting to encourage the judge to rule on a temporary restraining order on Monday that would grant us immediate relief and would help stop this operation that has been so harmful to the city of Minneapolis. The state of Minnesota has resulted in multiple shootings and tragic deaths.
Three people have been shot, two died. A massive winter storm is sweeping from the southwest through the Mid-Atlantic and up through New England this weekend, affecting some 200 million people. More than a dozen states have declared states of emergency.
NPR's Amy Held has more. The storm will last through Monday. National Weather Service meteorologist Frank Pereira says it could go down in history as the biggest.
This may be the all-time both population impact and geographical scope.
With more than half the U.S. population hit by some combination of snow, topping a foot in parts, ice, up to an inch or more, and cold, as low as sub-zero. Officials say stay home, but for some people, that's outside.
It's brutal out there. It's so cold, it hurts. Like, it hurts. It's painful.
Whitney Slater was sleeping in his car but moved to a warming center set up in Detroit. The cold will lock in the snowpack for days. In parts of the South, forecasters warn of catastrophic ice threatening the power system. Amy Held, NPR News.
