Shots rang out in Minneapolis early Saturday after federal police tried to subdue a man who was waving around a gun, according to law enforcement sources and video posted to social media.
A 39-second clip showed about half a dozen cops struggling with someone on the sidewalk in front of a donut shop at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, when the gunfire erupted.
The officers appeared to scatter after the shot went off, according to the footage.
The shooting happened after the man brandished a firearm with two magazines, a law enforcement source told The Post.
In a statement, city officials urged residents to stay calm and avoid the area.
“We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details,” the statement said.
More than 100 protesters had been at the scene when the encounter occurred. The man’s condition was not immediately known.
