Details of the Incident
Assistant Police Chief Katie Blackwell revealed that a second officer and a firefighter were also injured in the shooting. Mitchell, a father who was engaged to be married, was pronounced dead at Hennepin County Medical Center. His colleagues gathered outside the medical facility to pay their respects to the fallen hero.
Tributes to Officer Mitchell
Mayor Jacob Frey expressed his condolences, stating, “The city of Minneapolis lost a hero in police officer Jamal Mitchell. This officer gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect and save the lives of others. His life, his service, and his name will forever be remembered in the city of Minneapolis.”
Authorities highlighted Mitchell’s heroism, citing an incident from last year where he and another officer rescued an elderly couple from a house fire on his third day on the job. Chief Brian O’Hara commended their quick actions, which prevented a more tragic outcome as they saved the couple before the home was fully engulfed in flames.
Previous Tragedy in the Region
The shooting incident comes just three months after a heartbreaking event in the Minneapolis suburb of Burnsville, where two officers and a firefighter-paramedic lost their lives while responding to a domestic violence call. In that case, a man opened fire from a home with seven children inside, resulting in casualties and injuries before the gunman took his own life.
