Minneapolis, Hennepin County<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Department of Homeland Security officer shot a man Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

The man later died at the scene, officials said.<\/p>\n

What happened<\/h2>\n

DHS said the shooting happened at about 9:05 a.m. Central time in south Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said agents were running a targeted operation.<\/p>\n

She said the target was wanted in a violent assault case.<\/p>\n

During the operation, she said a man approached Border Patrol officers with a 9mm handgun.<\/p>\n

McLaughlin said officers tried to disarm him and take him into custody.<\/p>\n

She said he fought back during the struggle.<\/p>\n

An agent then fired what DHS called defensive shots.<\/p>\n

Medics gave aid, but the man died there, McLaughlin said.<\/p>\n

DHS said the man had two magazines and no identification.<\/p>\n
