This is CNN breaking news.
Good morning everyone.
I'm Audi Cornish and we begin with breaking news this morning.
Chaos erupting on the streets of Minneapolis overnight after another shooting involving a federal officer.
So late last night,
federal agents were seen lobbing tear gas and stun grenades at protesters who had swarmed into the streets after this latest shooting.
Now the Department of Homeland Security claims an officer was quote violently assaulted before shooting the suspect in the leg.
Federal officials confirmed the person who was shot and the officer are being treated for non life threatening injuries at a local hospital.
But in the meantime,
some clashes with federal officers led to protesters throwing fireworks into the street.
Local officials tried to urge calm as these tensions are rising.
I urge anyone that is at the scene to leave immediately.
This is already a very tense situation and we do not need this to escalate any further.
For those that have peacefully protested, I applaud you.
For those that are taking the bait, you are not helping.
Joining me now to talk about this is Jill Snyder, retired New York City police officer.
Thanks so much for being with us.
And first I want to start with the details, which I think not everybody has heard,
but this is what the Department of Homeland Security is saying.
They say the officer who opened fire was actually attacked.
