“What happened was that the young martyrs were going to collect water for displaced people from a station near the Shuja’iyya neighborhood, a supposedly safe area. Unfortunately, the Israeli occupation, true to its treachery, opened fire on them and killed them. They were innocent civilians, bringing water to displaced people in the area.”

Authorities in Minnesota Kill 9 People, Shoot 14 in Last Six Months

Law enforcement officers in Minnesota have shot at least 14 people across the state in the past six months, killing 9 of them. With the exception of three shootings by federal officers in January, two of which were fatal, the other 11 shootings were conducted by police, sheriffs, and deputies.

No less than 1,201 people were killed by police in the U.S. last year, after 2024 set a record high with American police killing at least 1,271 people. Officers were charged with a crime in 8 of the 1,201 killings in 2025, according to Mapping Police Violence.

In the 14 cases since November, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Christian Castro is the only one facing charges out of at least 25 officers who fired their weapons — Castro shot and injured a man when firing his service weapon into a home on Jan. 14 during an ICE operation and then lied about the crime.

Castro was arrested Friday in Texas on a nationwide arrest warrant and has been charged with four felony second-degree assault charges and falsely reporting a crime.

At least seven people have been killed this year already, compared to eight all of last year. Since 2020, no less than 67 people have been killed by law enforcement in Minnesota.
