Neither the purported doctor nor the agent in the exchange have been identified. But experts in emergency response said both were likely acting within their training, and they couldn’t determine whether bystander aid might have changed the outcome.

... when law enforcement agents are in control, they have authority to accept or refuse that help as they assess the safety and security of emergency scenes, medical and EMS officials told the Minnesota Star Tribune.

The man identifying himself as a doctor at the scene of Good’s shooting backed off after a second federal agent stepped in, video shows.

“Listen, I understand,” the agent told him. “We’ve got EMS coming in. I get it. Just give us a second. We have medics on scene.”

An HCMC spokesperson declined to address questions about the emergency response and whether bystander aid would have made a difference, because it’s “an active investigation handled by other agencies.”

No paywall:

An independent autopsy commissioned by the family of Renee Good, the woman fatally shot by an immigration agent in Minneapolis earlier this month, found she was shot at least three times, sustaining wounds to her head, arm and breast, lawyers for the family said....

One of the gunshots struck Good on the left forearm, causing soft tissue hemorrhage, and another entered her right breast without penetrating any major organs, according to the preliminary findings of the autopsy described by the lawyers.

Neither of those wounds were immediately life-threatening, the autopsy said.

A third bullet entered the left side of her head near the temple and exited on the right side of her head, the autopsy said.

FBI Agent Resigns After Trying to Investigate ICE Officer in Renee Good Shooting

The resignation of the agent, Tracee Mergen, was only the latest shock wave to have emerged from the Justice Department’s handling of the shooting of Renee Good.

www.nytimes.com

“An F.B.I. agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis this month has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The agent, Tracee Mergen, left her job as a supervisor in the F.B.I.’s Minneapolis field office after bureau leadership in Washington pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the immigration officer, Jonathan Ross, according to one of the people. Such inquiries are a common investigative step in similar shootings.”

“You know, when the woman was shot, I felt terribly about it,” he said, referring to Good. “And I understand both sides of it.” He called the shooting “a horrible thing.”

“You know they’re going to make mistakes,” Trump said. “Sometimes ICE is going to be too rough with somebody or, you know — they deal with rough people. They’re going to make a mistake. Sometimes it can happen terribly.”

Trump appeared to link his apparent change of heart to what he said were the political views of Good’s parents, particularly her father, who he said was a “tremendous Trump fan.”

“A lot of people said, ‘Oh, he loves you,’” Trump said of Good’s father. His voice trailed off. “I hope — I hope he still feels that way.”

Lawyer for Renee Good reacts to death of Alex Pretti
​

Newsnight

Antonio Romanucci, a lawyer representing the family of Renee Good, says that residents of Minneapolis are feeling "scared" after two Americans were shot by immigration agents in the city this month.

Good was killed by ICE agents after investigators say she tried to run over them with her car. Local officials dispute the federal account, and have been blocked from participating in the investigation into her death.

"It's very tense. People are scared. They don't know what the day-to-day looks like in Minneapolis," he tells Newsnight.

"We thought there was a lesson to be learned with what happened on 7 January with Renee," he says.

"Instead we saw something even more atrocious, just as atrocious, two days ago."
