Federal agent shoots man in Minneapolis as tensions in city run high

Mayor urged calm as protesters gathered on the scene, as city continues to reel in aftermath of Renee Nicole Good's killing

A federal officer has shot a man in the leg during an enforcement operation in north Minneapolis, sparking protests in a city still on edge after the killing of Renee Nicole Good by a federal agent last week.

The shooting occurred about 7pm local time, according to witnesses. Several hundred protesters gathered at the scene on Wednesday night facing off with agents who blocked off the area and used smoke and other crowd control weapons.
