a video taken by the eyewitness, Emily Heller, shows agents denying a self-identified physician access to the victim and telling bystanders to just relax.

(79,441 posts)The victim was obviously in a same-sex marriage. She has a 5 or 6 year old boy--I read the father had died a few years ago.

🚨BREAKING Content Warning: Disturbing
ICE/Border Patrol agents have shot a woman, who was a legal observer, in the face and killed her in a Minneapolis neighborhood. Details are still emerging, and the exact circumstances have not yet been officially confirmed.
According to video from the scene, a man heard gunshots and ran outside. The wife of the victim, who was in the car, is sitting on the ground nearby with a dog, visibly distressed. In the video, she is heard saying they had stopped to film, she yelled something, and moments later agents fired, fatally shooting the woman.
What happens next is even more alarming.
A man identifying himself as a physician attempts to approach the scene to provide medical assistance. He repeatedly tells agents that someone medically trained needs to intervene, that the victim is bleeding, and that a doctor is required to assess or pronounce death. Instead of allowing aid, agents point guns at him, threaten him, and force him to back away
leaving the woman shot inside the car without assistance.
Eventually, medics arrive and remove the woman from the vehicle.
This is an active, developing situation. More verified information is needed, but the video raises serious and urgent questions about use of force, denial of medical aid, and accountability.
