Minneapolis ‘hero’ cop Jamal Mitchell gunned down while trying to help mass shooting suspect, who was pretending to be a victim
The Minneapolis police officer gunned down in an ambush-style attack tried to help the suspect who initially pretended to be a victim in need of medical assistance during Thursday’s mass shooting, according to officials.

Officer Jamal Mitchell, 28, responded to the shooting inside an apartment in the city’s trendy Whittier neighborhood, but rushed out of his car to aid victims about two blocks away from where the shooting was reported, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans said in a press conference Thursday evening.

A man he had tried helping ended up being the suspect who gunned down the “courageous hero” who had been with the department for “less than two years.”

Conspicuous by its absence, is any information about - the sequence of events, the other victims, the perpetrator, and perpetrator's weapon - involved in this incident.
Normally by now we would have had several notorious groups standing on dead bodies demanding a ban on this, or jail time for the Police officer.
I find it all quite curious.

New details revealed in murder of 36-year-old MPD officer Jamal Mitchell
Officer Mitchell arrived on scene solo, according to sources, who confirmed he was working his mandated overtime shift on Thursday.
As officers arrived, one aired that they were being fired upon. A dispatcher also aired that firefighters may have taken gunfire upon arrival and that there was an active shooter. During the chaotic dispatches, an officer was reported to be down, and there were reports of several other possible victims.

An apartment building at the scene of the mass shooting was at one point cleared of all residents, according to Crime Watch.

Now, sources tell Alpha News that Mohamed went to that south Minneapolis apartment to shoot two people who were known to him. One of those individuals died and has since been identified by the Hennepin County medical examiner as Osman Said Jimale, 32.

Mohamed then fled from the scene by trying to take someone’s moped at gunpoint, according to the sources. A motorist saw this all happening, and he ran into Mohamed to stop him from fleeing, the sources said.

Officer Mitchell then arrived on scene solo, according to the sources, who confirmed he was working his mandated overtime shift on Thursday. Minneapolis officers are mandated overtime each month due to short staffing.

Sources say Mitchell believed Mohamed was a victim in the shooting and needed aid. That’s when witnesses say Mohamed started shooting at Officer Mitchell.

Anyone wanna take bets that the shooter (Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed) is in the country illegally?

Minneapolis cop killer, mass shooter had violent history, active warrants
Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed, 35, was also prohibited from possessing firearms due to his history of convictions on violent crimes.
The suspect in the mass shooting last week that left a Minneapolis police officer and a civilian dead and others injured had a history of violent crimes and was wanted on several warrants at the time of the shootings.

Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed, 35, was also prohibited from possessing firearms due to his history of convictions on violent crimes.

[...]

Mohamed’s criminal history includes felony state convictions on first- and third-degree burglary, as well as a federal conviction on illegal possession of a firearm. At the time of the mass shooting, Mohamed was wanted on a warrant for illegal gun possession connected to a 2022 robbery case in downtown Minneapolis, as well as warrants on the two prior burglary convictions.

I'll take that bet. If he was an illegal alien, he probably would have been deported after appearing in a federal court to answer to for his crimes. He is probably an American citizen or an alien legally in the USA. If he was an illegal alien, chances are that the media would be all over that. https://www.startribune.com/lengthy-cri ... 600370698/
