MINNEAPOLIS — Renee Good was found with gunshot wounds to the chest, arm and head after a federal immigration officer shot her the morning of Jan. 7 , according to the Minneapolis Fire Department’s incident report.
Paramedics found Good unresponsive in her car with blood on her face and torso at 9:42 a.m. She was not breathing, and her pulse was “inconsistent” and “irregular,” according to the report obtained through a state Data Practices Act request.
There were two gunshot wounds on Good’s right chest, one on her left forearm and one “with protruding tissue on the left side of the patient’s head” the report said. Blood was flowing out of her left ear.

Good was brought to a snowbank and then the sidewalk to get “separation from an escalating scene involving law enforcement and bystanders,” the report went on.
At that point, the 37-year-old was “still not breathing and pulseless.”
Lifesaving efforts continued at the scene, in an ambulance and at HCMC. CPR was discontinued at the hospital at 10:30 a.m.
A 911 caller told dispatchers “they shot her [because] she wouldn’t open her car door,” according to transcripts. “Send an ambulance please, ambulance please.”
