 By Caitlin Burke - Posted at CBN News:

Protests grow across Minneapolis after an ICE agent shot and killed a protester Wednesday morning. Public schools cancelled classes for the day out of an abundance of caution, as state officials call for calm.

Meanwhile, questions continue over the situation and events that led to the shooting. Given the volatility and sheer politics of the situation, there are very different accounts of those final moments.

On top of that, the deployment of as many as 2,000 federal agents to Minneapolis has resulted in frustration and anger from the local community. Wednesday's shooting has significantly escalated those feelings.

"The ICE officer, fearing for his life, and the other officers around him and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots," Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said during a press conference on Wednesday.

"They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly. That is bulls**t," fired back Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Frey.
