A man was shot and killed by Minneapolis police during a traffic stop Wednesday night.
The incident occurred during a felony traffic stop at around 7 p.m. at the Holiday gas station at 36th Street and S. Cedar Avenue. It's unclear whether the man exchanged gunfire with officers before he was shot. A bullet hole was spotted in a squad at the scene. Police spokesman John Elder said the man shot was believed to be a felony suspect. He did not say how many shots were fired or how many officers were involved. The incident was captured on body camera and no officers were injured, Elder said.
"Those officers have all been isolated and they're waiting to be interviewed" by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, he said.
According to emergency dispatch audio, an officer radioed immediately after the shooting: "Shots fired, officer needs help."
"We have two people inside the vehicle, one male is down, we still have one female in the car with her hands up," the officer said.
"We need perimeter, we need perimeter!" an officer said, keeping Cedar clear for medics. They called for no more squads in the parking lot of a Holiday gas station, blocking entrances only for emergency crews. Officers were advised to keep their body cameras turned on.
It was the first fatal police shooting since the May 25 killing of George Floyd by four Minneapolis police officers, which spurred widespread unrest and rioting in Minneapolis and protests across the city.
