President Donald Trump defended the federal government’s handling of the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an immigration agent in Minneapolis during a Wednesday interview with The New York Times.
He called the incident “a vicious situation”, saying Good appeared to strike an officer with her vehicle, and added that he did not want anyone to be shot or threaten law enforcement.
“I want to see nobody get shot. I want to see nobody screaming and trying to run over policemen either,” he told the Times in the Oval Office.
“It’s a terrible scene,” Trump said after watching the video. “I think it’s horrible to watch. No, I hate to see it.”
“That was a vicious situation that took place,” Trump said.
