Chilling. video of the shooting now emerging on. social media tonight. And a warning.

here, the images are disturbing. The. driver, a 37year-old woman, behind the. wheel of her SUV, partially blocking an. intersection. Two federal agents try to. open her door. You see the vehicle. reverse and then drive forward. A third. agent then opening fire, shooting. multiple times, killing the driver, hitting her in the head. All of this. playing out in front of protesters. tonight. Homeland Security Secretary. Christy Gnome claiming the driver tried. to run over ICE agents. The mayor of. Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, saying these. claims of self-defense from ICE are.

quote a garbage narrative, telling ICE. to get out of Minneapolis. ABC's Alex. Perez leading us off from the scene. tonight. >> Tonight, protests and anger on the. streets of Minneapolis after a federal. agent shot and killed a woman this. morning caught on horrific video posted. on X. ICE claiming self-defense. Local. officials calling it reckless. She. appears to be uh a middle-aged white. woman. >> The incident unfolding around 10:00 this.

morning. The disturbing video posted on. X shows the vehicle back up as an. officer grabs a door. Then multiple. shots, including through the windshield, the car accelerating and crashing. It. >> was horrible. I mean, she uh crashed her. car into a parked car in front of me. A. neighbor ran across the street and. opened her car door to see if she could. provide any any assistance. The angry. crowd forced back, throwing snowballs, agents responding with pepper spray and. tear gas.

>> There is nothing to indicate that this. woman uh was the target of any law. enforcement investigation or activity. >> The Department of Homeland Security, who. announced they were sending at least. 2,000 agents to Minnesota this week to. begin what they called their largest. immigration operation to date, says. agents acted in self-defense, claiming. they were stuck in the snow when the. woman attacked them. They were. attempting to push out their vehicle and. a woman attacked them and those. surrounding them and attempted to run. them over and ram them with her vehicle.

>> Mayor Jacob Fry reacting to claims of. self-defense did not mince words. >> Having seen the video of myself, I want. to tell everybody directly that is. >> he had this message for ICE. >> To ICE, get the out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Governor Tim. Walls urging calm but laying blame. squarely at the Trump administration's. feet. >> What we're seeing is the consequences of. governance designed to generate fear,

headlines, and conflict. It's governing. by reality TV. And today that. recklessness cost someone their life. >> And David, you can see demonstrators are. still on the street here in Minneapolis. The victim has been identified as. 37year-old Renee Nicole Good. These. demonstrators say they plan to stay on. the streets until ICE leaves. Minneapolis. David, >> Alex Pres leading us off from. Minneapolis tonight. Alex, thank you. Tonight, we have learned the US has. seized two oil tankers just hours apart,

including a Russian flagged vessel. And. tonight, the new demand now coming in. from the Kremlin. Authorities say both. tankers are connected to Venezuela's oil. trade. US European Command says the. Russian tanker was captured between. Scotland and Iceland after spending. weeks evading US forces. And dramatic. video tonight showing an elite Coast. Guard team also boarding that second. tanker, an oil tanker in the Caribbean. That ship is now being escorted to the. US. And tonight, what the Trump. administration is now saying about the. Venezuelan oil now in its possession.

Here's Martha Ratitz. Tonight, the bold. US seizure of two oil takers accused of. transporting sanctioned Venezuelan oil, including a Russian flagged vessel that. had been evading US forces for weeks. US. helicopter swooping in during a dramatic. pre-dawn operation. Elite Coast Guard. forces repelling onto the deck of the. Sophia. A tanker sailing in. international waters near the Caribbean. near Iceland. That Russian flag tanker.

seized, the Marinara, formerly known as. the Bellawan, being pursued by the US. Coast Guard. That vessel also linked to. Venezuela's illicit oil trade, eluding. capture for weeks after an earlier. attempt to seize the ship in the. Caribbean did not succeed. The crew. hurriedly painting the Russian flag on. the side of it, trying to deter a US. seizure. The Kremlin now demanding the. safe return of that crew. The. administration insisting this is all.

part of a larger plan to control. Venezuela. >> The way that we control Venezuela is we. control the purse strings. We control. the energy resources and we tell the. regime, you're allowed to sell the oil. so long as you serve America's national. interest. You're not allowed to sell it. if you can't serve America's national. interest. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. dismissing criticism from lawmakers who. accused the administration of having no. plan today announcing a three-phase. proposal for the future of Venezuela.

>> It's not just winging it. It's not just. uh saying or speculating it's going to. happen. It's already happening. >> Rubio calling phase one stabilization, which would include the sale of roughly. 30 to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan. oil. The White House saying the US will. share in the profits. Venezuelan. state-run oil company confirming today. it is negotiating that sale with the US. The second phase, according to Rubio, recovery, which will open up Venezuela's. oil market to American companies and.

others. The last phase, Rubio says, is. transition, though no specifics were. provided. Some Democrats tonight. blasting the proposal. >> This is an insane plan. They are talking. about stealing the Venezuelan. oil at gunpoint for a period of time. undefined as leverage to micromanage the. country. >> And David, tonight the world seeing. those dramatic images of US forces. seizing those tankers which the White.

House is saying will continue despite. the rising tensions with Russia. David. >> Martha Ratitz live in Washington. Martha, thank you. Meanwhile, tonight, the firestorm over Greenland is growing. after the White House declared Greenland. should be part of the US. Tonight, some. key Republicans on the Hill pushing. back. One senator calling this amateur. hour, saying, quote, "That is absurd.". Secretary of State Marco Rubio now says. President Trump wants to buy Greenland. So, how would that work? Rachel Scott at. the White House.

>> Tonight, a growing number of Republicans. denouncing the Trump administration's. efforts to pressure Denmark, a NATO. ally, into handing over Greenland. Republican Senator Tom Tillis attacking. one of the president's top aids for. declaring obviously Greenland should be. part of the US. >> Turning around and making insane. comments about how it is our right to. have territory owned by the the Kingdom. of Denmark, folks. Amateur hour is over.

>> Other Republicans criticizing the. administration for refusing to rule out. using the military to seize Greenland. Senator Mitch McConnell saying using. force against an ally would be an. especially catastrophic act of strategic. self harm to America. House Speaker Mike. Johnson insists taking Green Geland by. force is not a possibility. >> I don't think anybody's seriously. considering that. And in the Congress, we're certainly not. >> Tonight, Secretary of State Marco Rubio. says what the president really wants to. do is buy Greenland. >> That's always been the president's.

intent from the very beginning. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has not. made it clear how the US would even go. about buying Greenland, but Denmark has. said Greenland is not for sale. David. >> Rachel Scott live at the White House. Thank you. In Los Angeles tonight, a. major shakeup in the case against Nick. Reiner, accused of killing his parents. Director Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner. in their home. Nick Reiner's. high-profile attorney, Alan Jackson, abruptly withdrawing from the case just. moments before Nick Reiner was to be. arraigned on murder charges. Reiner has. now been assigned public defenders. In. court, Nick Riner only spoke when.

agreeing to delay his plea now. His next. court date is set for late February. It. was one year ago tonight. Los Angeles. was burning. Homes, neighborhoods, entire communities consumed by flames. We were on the scene there for several. days and promised then we would go back. Tonight, one year later, what we. discovered on the very street where I. was reporting from one year ago. It was one year ago tonight. Los Angeles. was on fire. When we arrived, the deadly.

apocalyptic scene. And this is how we. came on the air. 24 hours into this. You. can feel the heat, uh, the smoke, and. you certainly can see the flames over my. shoulder here. Home after home. continuing to burn to the ground. Fire. Embers sweeping down the street. The. flames reaching the ocean. >> All this is going to be gone. >> We were on the ground with Calire. Battalion Chief Brent Pasqua. The cars. here charred. >> The charred cars where families simply. stopped and got out to escape the.

flames. >> These people who were coming down from. the hills here decided to give up. because the fire was encroaching. >> Right. Right. That the traffic was so. bad they figured their chances were. better getting out on foot and running. the rest of the way out of here. >> We walked through the darkened. neighborhoods there, the smoke hovering. above the homes, many still crackling. from the flames. An airline passenger capturing this. harrowing view out his window. The sun. low in the sky over Los Angeles.

reflecting a new reality. The most. destructive wildfires in Los Angeles. history. The largest fire, the Palisades. fire and the horror it left behind. Our. team at KABC with the view from above. Street after street burned to the. ground. In one neighborhood, we learned. of neighbors texting one another, saving. them from the flames. This was the house. here on the corner that began to burn. and then they alerted everyone down the. street to get out of their homes because. they knew it was just a matter of time.

before the flames jumped from house to. house. Uh which is exactly what it did. >> We remember the scope of the damage was. difficult to put into words. >> The cars here in the streets uh. incinerated what's left of sort of the. burned out charred metal frame here uh. uh just sitting on the street here. And. if you look across the street, there's still some embers burning here. We would learn that many of the families. who lived on this street were watching.

that night. That's how they knew their. homes were gone. One year ago, we will. never forget meeting this husband and. father of two, Alessandro Vigilante. >> Have you seen your house yet? No. >> He raced to the school to pick up his. boys, his wife staying behind to grab. their most important documents. I'm sorry. >> Alessandro and his family lost. everything. >> I think it's impossible for people. around the country to look at this and.

understand the scope of this. devastation. Everything is gone. >> Yeah. >> But you've got your boys and you've got. your wife. >> Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. And uh we. figured out the rest. We promised we. would go back. And one year later, on. that same street, we meet up with. Alessandro. Aleandro. >> Hey, David. >> How you doing? >> That was a fast year. But not for you, right? Yeah. >> Unfortunately, not. >> There was little left. >> The white picket fence here, huh? >> Yeah. Yeah, that's still here.

>> Yeah, but that's it. >> Yeah. >> He tells me it's been a real struggle. >> Did the insurance company cover you? >> Yes, it was. Uh, it's not been an easy. process. You don't expect to have to. discuss anything. It's a total loss. Basically looking at every single detail. that I can think of from the handles. that you had on the doors to the type of. countertops. And again, it's to me that. was mind-blowing because I'm like, well, when we signed the policy, that's the. moment you should have decided whether.

my house was worth that much or not. Now. it's too late. >> He says it's been a year-long battle. The final insurance check arriving just. two weeks ago. >> It's taken this entire year. >> Oh yes. >> To get the money the value of the house. >> Literally I got I we had the last check. like uh two weeks ago. >> They have decided not to rebuild. They're simply trying to sell the lot. But it's not worth what it once was. >> It's half of what the bank uh assessed.

the value of the lot. Not the house. Just the lot uh just four years ago. half of what it was assessed at four. years ago. >> Yes. Just the land. >> That's a big loss. >> Oh, yes. It's uh it's it's huge. >> And his is just one family story. There's Liz Jones across the street down. the way standing where her family home. once stood. That charred car we showed. one year ago. It was her daughter's. >> When you saw us walking past that burned. out car, >> you knew that was your daughter's car?

>> Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. >> And is that when reality set in that. >> 100%. So this is it? >> Yeah, this is it. >> Liz and her husband are determined to. rebuild here. Insurance covering it. This is where they raised their family. >> So where was the front door? >> Well, that's a great question. I'm going. to guess it was like here maybe. >> Yeah. >> And we noticed something else she's been. wearing for nearly a year. >> A year later, you're still wearing the. Palisades. >> Of course, >> the numbers are staggering here. Nearly.

24,000 acres burned here in the. Palisades fire alone. Nearly 7,000. structures, most of them homes. We're. back here on Hartzell Street where we. were standing just one year ago and you. can see home after home wiped from the. earth. For the families who live here. along this street, the last year has. been a struggle deciding how to rebuild. here. The struggle for Alesandro, for. Liz, and for Preston and Kelsey Hayes, who have two young children. Hi. Hi.

>> Hi. >> Are we the first visitors to your new. home? >> Yes. Welcome. >> They are rebuilding here. It was one. year ago wearing protective gear. They. wondered if they would ever come back. >> Were you concerned at all about the soil. and and what might be contaminated from. the fires? >> Uh yeah, for sure. >> And the tests. You you did do the. testing and you felt. >> reassured by the tests. >> Yes. >> Yeah. But one year later, as they look. out across their neighborhood, they know.

the reality. >> It's been really eye opening, right, to. to learn who's coming back and then. who's going to just move on. >> Yes. >> Liz is still down the street, but. Alessandro and his family next door, they're not coming back. >> We want the community to be the same. I. I don't think it will be, unfortunately. >> They know that Alessandro and his family. are moving on. >> I know this has been taxing on the. family and on the marriage, too. That's. that's that's a. >> that's part of the layers of going. through a disaster like this, isn't it? >> Yes. Unfortunately, yes. Very much so.

>> And when you look out at this, >> it's okay. It's um it was a it was a. chapter of our life. >> A chapter of their lives. So brave in. Canada a year ago and Canada a year. later as well. The extraordinary. strength of the families who survived. those fires. It's quite something. When. we come back here tonight, the scare on. the runway, the passenger jet landing, several tires blowing out, the.

terrifying landing, what passengers were. forced to do. Also, the former college. football star and NFL player in critical. condition tonight, badly burned in a. fire near his home. And what we're. learning about that fire tonight. And. the checks are going out. The Amazon. settlement of $2.5 billion. What some. customers are getting tonight when we. come back. Tonight, the terrifying landing for. passengers on a flight from Peru to. Atlanta. The tires blowing out upon. landing at Hartsville Jackson Airport. Passengers were then taken off a LATAM. flight down the stairs. They say the.

plane was shaking, a restroom door. breaking during landing. Former college. football star Jordan Shipley is in. critical condition tonight after being. severely burned at his ranch near. Austin, Texas. His family says he was. operating a machine when it suddenly. caught fire. One of his workers driving. him to the hospital. Shipley was a star. wide receiver for the Texas Longhorns. and went on to the NFL. When we come. back here tonight, the Amazon settlement. of $2.5 billion. The checks are now. going out and how much you could get. And then you've got to see the great. escape tonight. What a dog was able to. pull off.

To the index of other news tonight, millions of Amazon customers are getting. their cut now of a $2.5 billion. settlement. Some eligible customers. already receiving automatic refunds. Others are now getting notified. The. maximum refund is $51. It comes after. the FTC said Amazon enrolled millions. into Amazon Prime and made it hard to. cancel. Amazon denies any wrongdoing. The nation's food pyramid looks. different tonight. Health Secretary. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rolling out this. inverted pyramid of putting protein, dairy, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables.
