Black Lives Matter Minneapolis has been staging protests over the past week following the fatal police shooting of Jamar Clark, 24, an unarmed black man.

On its Facebook page, the group wrote of last night’s shooting, “Tonight, white supremacists attacked the #4thPrecinctShutDown in an act of domestic terrorism. We need you here tomorrow. We wont be intimidated.”

U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, who has joined the group, told Minnesota Public Radio, “I know there’s a lot of speculation as to who these people were. And they well could have been, I’m not trying to say they weren’t white supremacists. But I just haven’t been able to piece together enough information to say with any real clarity.”

A witness to the shootings told reporters that one of the three men wore a mask.

Additional police patrols have been added to Minneapolis’ streets in the wake of Monday night’s shooting.

Detectives ask that anyone with information about the shooting come forward.
