This is CNN breaking news.

Good evening. I'm Laura Coates. The breaking news tonight, another shooting involving federal law enforcement again in Minneapolis,

triggering a chaotic scene in a neighborhood in the north of the city. The Department of Homeland Security put out a statement a short time ago, and it says that

federal officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop of a, quote, illegal alien, who then fled.

The officer caught up with him, and a struggle broke out. DHS says two other people came from a nearby

apartment and attacked the agent with a snow shovel and broom handle.

The statement says the officer then fired what they're calling defensive shots and hit the initial subject in the leg.

The end of the post accuses Minnesota Governor Tim Walls and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye of encouraging

what they're calling organized resistance to ice.

Just a few moments the mayor and police chief will be holding a news conference to address

what has happened and we will bring it to you live right here on CNN.

I want to go right to the ground right now.

C.N.'s Whitney Wilde is there reporting on this latest shooting.

Whitney, we've seen a heavy police presence.

I hear the honking. I hear the community out and about.

Where are you right now and what's happening?

We are right near 23rd in Lindale, and there is a chaotic scene at the moment because federal

law enforcement basically has two spots that they're trying to control.

One is straight up the block from us this way and another is to my side and it's to my side

where we believe that this shooting happened.

And according to the Department of Homeland Security, this shooting happened.
