2 Army battalions put on standby for possible deployment to Minnesota

Tensions continued over the weekend in Minneapolis, as protesters clashed in the streets with law enforcement, following the second shooting there in about a week involving a federal officer.

The Department of Homeland Security said that on Wednesday, a federal law enforcement officer shot a person, who they say had fled a traffic stop and then, along with two other people, began attacking the officer.

That incident followed the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, on Jan. 7. DHS officials said Good was allegedly attempting to run over law enforcement officers when an ICE officer fatally shot her -- a claim that local officials have disputed.

Renee Good had gunshot wounds to chest, forearm and possibly to her head, according to new documents

Newly released documents from the Minneapolis Fire Department (MFD) are now shedding light on the chaotic scene following the fatal shooting of Renee Good on Jan. 7.

Several pages of transcripts were released to various media outlets late Thursday from the MFD confirming that Good had gunshot wounds to chest, forearm and possibly to her head, according to the new documents.

First responders "found two apparent gunshot wounds to the patient's right chest (and) one apparent gunshot wound to the patient's left forearm," according to the documents.

Officials said Good was then relocated from the snowbank outside the vehicle to the sidewalk at the northeast corner of 34th St. and Portland "for a more workable scene, better access for ambulances, and separation from an escalating scene involving law enforcement and bystanders."

Responders continued the patient assessment at that site but found the patient "still not breathing and pulseless."

Infant among 2 children hospitalized after fed agents deployed tear gas: Minneapolis officials

Two children, including one who was 6-months-old, were hospitalized last night after federal agents deployed tear gas during Wednesday night's protests, according to the Minneapolis Office of Community Safety.

The infant was inside a vehicle that was hit by tear gas and began to experience "breathing difficulties," according to the agency.

The suspect allegedly began to resist arrest and "violently assault an officer" when two other people "came out of a nearby apartment and attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle," according to DHS.

Sosa-Celis allegedly "got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick," and the officer shot the suspect in the leg, according to DHS. Sosa Celis and the other two suspects, who were not identified but alleged to be undocumented," were arrested, according to DHS.
