    Homeland Security shares account of fatal shooting The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents were conducting a “targeted operation” in Minneapolis at 9:05 a.m. Saturday looking for “an illegal alien wanted for violent assault.”

    “An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun,” the agency said in a statement. “The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted.”

    “Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots,” the department’s statement continued. “Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.”

    DHS said the man had two magazines and “no ID” and that more information would be coming.

      If you approach a federal agent (who will likely be wearing a mask and sneaking around) while exercising your 2nd amendment rights you can be killed, cool cool cool /s
