2 more police officers who fired in the Minneapolis shooting that killed a police officer have been identified

On Sunday, authorities identified two more Minneapolis police officers who were involved in the shooting that killed their colleague Jamal Mitchell last week.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said officers Nick Kapinos and Luke Kittock fired shots at 35-year-old Mustafa Mohamed after he shot Mitchell on Thursday.

Kapinos has ten years of law enforcement experience and Kittock has nine years, the BCA said in a press release.

The BCA said that according to a preliminary investigation, Mitchell was the first officer to arrive at a residence on Blaisdell Avenue following a reported shooting. In a radio transmission, Mitchell said he saw two injured men in the street – Mohamed and an injured bystander.

“Mitchell exited his car and approached Mohamed, who was sitting next to a parked vehicle,” the BCA said. “Mitchell asked Mohamed if he was injured and needed help. Without warning, Mohamed pulled out a gun and shot Mitchell at close range. Mitchell fell to the ground, incapacitated.”

When other officers arrived, they saw Mohamed repeatedly shooting Mitchell, the FBI said.

Mohamed then shot at the other officers, who returned fire and hit him, according to the BCA.

Mohamed died at the scene. Kittock was injured in the shooting but has since been released from the hospital. The injured passerby was still in critical but stable condition in the hospital on Sunday, the press release said.
