A 37-year-old man has been shot dead by federal officers in the US city of Minneapolis, local police said on Saturday.

The shooting was first made public by Minnesota state Governor Tim Walz before the death was reported.

The reports of the shooting come amid ongoing protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE's) anti-migrant operations, carried out at the behest of the Trump administration.

Those protests were in large part spurred on by the fatal shooting of Renee Good, the 37-year-old mother of three, by an ICE agent on January 7. The White House responded to the killing by calling Good, who was shot while in her car, a "domestic terrorist."

What do we know about the shooting?

Initial reports had said the victim was a 51-year-old man. The Minneapolis police chief later said he was a 37-year-old US citizen.

The shooting took place amid ongoing protests against ICE, but it was not immediately clear if the victim was a protester.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that the man had been carrying a firearm with two magazines.

The DHS also distributed a picture of a handgun they said belonged to the victim.

Crowds gathered following the shooting and began shouting at the federal officers, according to reporting from AP.

NBC News reported that dozens of masked federal agents were on the scene. CNN reported that law enforcement had deployed tear gas to control the crowd.

What did Tim Walz say about the Minneapolis shooting?

"I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening," the former running mate of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris wrote on X.

"The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now."

The X account for the city of Minneapolis confirmed the shooting "in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave."

"We are working to confirm additional details," it added. "We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area."

The city was hit by a massive snowstorm on Friday, but that didn't stop people from continuing the large-scale protests against ICE.
