A Border Patrol agent shot and killed a man believed to be a US citizen in Minneapolis on Saturday, the latest violent incident by law enforcement that has sparked widespread protests and condemnations by state and local officials.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said at a news conference with other local officials that the 37-year-old man had multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead. O’Hara said the victim had no criminal record beyond traffic tickets and had a permit to carry a weapon.
