The man shot dead in Minneapolis while surrounded by federal agents was armed, according to a Department of Homeland Security official, who said the individual "had a handgun with two clips."

The official noted that the situation is constantly evolving and provided a photo of the alleged firearm, which appears to be a Sig Sauer Emperor Scorpion. It is unclear whether the man was openly brandishing the weapon or whether it was concealed at the time he was shot. It is also unclear whether he possessed a gun permit, which is required in the state. The Department of Homeland Security has not yet described the circumstances that led to the shooting.
