By Matt Underwood Renee Good’s injuries, as revealed by the Minneapolis Fire Department report, paint a grim picture of the events that unfolded on January 7th. The document confirms that she suffered four gunshot wounds, underscoring the severity and brutality of the incident involving an ICE agent.
The report details the wounds themselves, providing a chilling account of the attack. Good was hit in the chest, arm, and head. The specifics, like the presence of “protruding tissue” on the left side of her head and blood flowing from her ear, are difficult to read, and bring into sharp focus the devastating impact of the shots.
Paramedics found Good unresponsive in her car, her condition described as critical. She wasn’t breathing, and her pulse was “inconsistent” and “irregular.” These details highlight the desperate efforts to save her life at the scene. Despite the quick response, the report indicates that CPR was ultimately discontinued at the hospital, leading to the tragic loss of her life.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting are stark. The report states that the 911 caller described the event as a shooting that occurred after Good wouldn’t open her car door. There are claims the agent wasn’t threatened, and the fact that she was shot multiple times as she drove away is a huge problem. This detail raises serious questions about the agent’s actions and the use of force.
The presence of multiple gunshot wounds further complicates the situation. Was this a moment of self-defense, or an escalation? The location of the wounds – chest, arm, and head – suggests a deliberate targeting of Good. Each additional shot raises serious questions about the agent’s intent.
The fact that Good was brought to a snowbank and then the sidewalk, for what the report states was separation from an escalating scene, raises concerns about the immediate aftermath. This raises further questions regarding the actions of those present at the scene and their priorities. Were attempts to give aid delayed or obstructed?
The reports detail makes it clear that this was not a quick, accidental shooting. It was a rapid sequence of events, and there’s no way to justify that. The multiple shots and their locations indicate a level of aggression and intent that simply does not align with justifiable self-defense. The authorities must investigate this fully, but the reports indicate what happened, and it appears to be a case of murder.
