Even if they guy had a gun, it's left to see what actually transpired here. Whether the guy owned the gun, had firearm permit and even if he had a public and/or concealed gun permit.

That's already been revealed by Minnesota Police (thank goodness we at least have some degree of independent investigations going on right now).
1. Only had parking tickets on his criminal record. No other criminal activity.
2. Owned a gun with firearms permit.
3. 36 Years Old, male. EDIT: I misremembered. Its apparently 37 year old male.
Minnesota Police only have jurisdiction inside of Minnesota however. So those four+ ICE shooters just need to leave the state and they're safe. The FBI is required to pursue across state lines.

A citizen, A vet, and a nurse at the VA.
None of that should really matter here. He didn't have his gun when he was shot the first time. He wasn't moving after the first shot and the 5 shots later were completely unnecessary and dangerous to the general public.
This sort of hair splitting is gross. Even if he illegally possessed the gun, the execution wasn't justified. He was not brandishing and nobody was in danger because of his possession of the gun.

He was a US citizen according to the Minneapolis police chief.
US Citizen with gun permit.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara had a press briefing a few hours ago.

He was an ICE observer, not a target. He was legally carrying a gun, but the object he was "brandishing" was a phone.
