Wondering what journalists might be interested in the news story of an ICE agent negligently discharging his gun through the walls of a hotel he was staying at.

On January 20, 2026 the Minnesota Star Tribune published an article titled "ICE agent accidentally fires gun into Eagan hotel room."
I can't find this article anywhere on the Minnesota Star Tribune's site. I'm so confused lol
@ligniform yeah i couldn't find it, either

...there are some choice photos. I don't think it's been picked up by any news outlets, though.
This evidence is available, but it likely needs a journalist or someone else similar who can curate it and package it up for easy public digestion.
Was the ICE goon firing his weapon through the wall of his hotel room trying to kill another agent, another guest, or did he not care whom he killed? The reckless disregard is the sort of thing an employer or the state usually sanctions with vehemence.

ICE are clearly hiring only the best and brightest fascist high school dropouts with anger management issues and poor dexterity.

@deviantollam JFC… Retired three years, first day back. And came back to work in MPLS, what does that say about this person's character that he'd purposefully come back specifically to work in a zone that has had multiple ICE shootings and is having heavy protests?
Ducking fumbass.

@deviantollam Can you just lie in FOIA requests about why you're requesting it? I've never had the need to look into it.

The police report is a hoot though... "On 12/18/2025 at approximately 1927 hours, I, Officer Wayde Anderson #194, and other officers were dispatched to the Hampton Inn located at 3000 Eagandale Place in the city of Eagan for a weapons call. Dispatch notes indicated that federal agents were staying in room 322, and an agent's firearm had been fired in the room. I arrived and made contact with the federal agent in question whom I identified as Bradley Shaver. Bradley wasn't injured; however, I observed a hole in his sweatshirt that I later learned was caused by the fired 9mm round."
"Bradley's supervisor, Adam Autio, was contacted and informed of the incident. The firearm, as well as two magazines, 28 unfired 9mm rounds, the "backstrap", the fired casing, and fabric from Bradley's clothing were entered into evidence for safekeeping. Adam informed officers he would be picking up the firearm for processing."
This part is wild...
"As he was doing this, he heard a very loud bang. Initially he thought the gunshot came from somewhere else and he yelled 'shots fired!' and then told his wife he had to go and hung up. Shaver then felt heat on the left side of his body, looked down and saw the damage to his shirt and realized the shot had some from his own weapon."

@huntingdon the police report describes him as attempting to re-attach a part that fell off of his pistol (the backstrap) and he didn't unload the gun before servicing it

@deviantollam “do not attempt to modify a loaded firearm with it pointed at yourself” seems pretty obvious, and yet…

@deviantollam kudos to the Eagan PD for releasing the documents so quickly!

@deviantollam @ligniform it's on this page of ongoing ICE coverage https://www.startribune.com/ice-raids-minnesota/601546426
You have to keep scrolling down and clicking "load more" to get back to Jan. 20. I didn't see a way to link it directly.(Please forgive any errors in the OCR alt text; it took me ages to scroll all that way down and then I accidentally clicked back before I copied the article text.)

LOL. Didn't unload the gun? It went off by accident? What else would an ICE goon tell the local police?

@deviantollam I think I'll invent a switch on a gun that prevents it from going off, to help prevent this kind of thing

Being from the UK, it's a while since I've handled a pistol. That said, I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen to anybody competent to hold a gun.

@deviantollam pure speculation, but it looks a lot like he was practicing drawing from concealment to the retention position and forgot he had one in the pipe.
Maybe his shirt got snagged in his gut crevice.

@Retreival9096 that would be a good thing to have, indeed!
