It took just seven seconds for an encounter between Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and a driver in Minneapolis to turn deadly.
Videos of those moments, captured by witnesses’ cellphones and posted to social media, show how the confrontation escalated into gunshots that left a mother dead behind the wheel. The clips also contradict an account provided by President Donald Trump.
Trump, in a social media post hours after the Wednesday morning shooting, said the driver — later identified as Renee Nicole Good — “violently, willfully and viciously ran over the ICE Officer.” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused the driver of trying to run the officer over, saying “she hit him” in “an act of domestic terrorism.” The agency called her a violent rioter. All said the officer fired in self-defense.
“It is hard to believe he is alive,” Trump said.
A close look at the videos shows that Good’s car did not knock down the officer, whose legs were to the side of the SUV as it moved by him while he fired. The officer walked away from the scene unassisted. Noem said he was treated at a hospital and released.
