| 0:02.2 | So we've now had two fatal shootings of American citizens by federal agents in one city, Minneapolis, in the last three weeks. |
| 0:11.7 | And Christy Noam, the Secretary of Homeland Security, says her agency, DHS, is going to lead and control the investigation of this latest shooting, which again, was |
