MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension’s Drew Evans says Officer Jamal Mitchell was ambushed by gunfire as he was helping victims at the scene.

This all started just after 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 30, when Minneapolis police were called to an apartment on Blaisdell Avenue South for a report of a shooting. While en route, an officer stopped to help what appeared to be a possible victim. That’s when police Officer Jamal Mitchell was shot in what authorities describe as an ambush.
