minnesota-man-livestreamed-confrontation-with-fbi-agents-before-being-shot-and-killed

A Minnesota man livestreamed a confrontation with FBI agents seconds before he was shot and killed, according to reports.

The suspect identified as Chue Feng Yang, also known as Kevin, hid in a Minneapolis home for several hours Thursday when federal agents attempted to arrest him on a car theft charge around 5:00 a.m. , indicated NY Daily News.

The 33-year-old man, who had a criminal record, was armed and filmed snippets of his negotiations with police, according to authorities.

Agents said Yang warned authorities that he would shoot anyone who entered the house. He also threatened to set off explosives.

“I hope they brought body bags,” shouted Yang, who appeared to have a sawed-off shotgun, as a negotiator tried to reason with him over the phone.

According to the Star Tribune, when Yang briefly hung up his phone after giving stern warnings to officers, a woman inside the house was heard saying, “Please don’t do this, we can get through this baby.”

However, Yang told the woman that he was “going to do it,” but the woman continued to plead with him not to go through with his plans.

Police blocked the street outside the house, as they were seen taking cover behind a white SUV around 6:00 a.m., according to reports.

Yang came out with a woman tied to his waist and allegedly holding a gun. Hours later, around 11:00 am, a neighbor told the Star Tribune that he heard a shot.

“The subject was fatally injured and another individual required medical assistance,” the FBI said in a statement. “Both were transported to the hospital.”

The affidavit said the woman Yang was with was treated after overdosing on fentanyl.

According to reports, Yang had three outstanding warrants for his arrest at the time of the confrontation. The subject was previously convicted of terrorist threat and robbery. He was also accused of animal cruelty on several occasions.
