Federal agents tackled several people and deployed chemical irritants at a high school in south Minneapolis as classes were ending on Wednesday, according to a witness.

Cara Morrow told WCCO that she pulled up to Roosevelt High School around 3:30 p.m. and saw several agents get out of their cars and tackle people on school grounds. The cars were all unmarked SUVs, and the agents did not identify themselves, she said.

Several students and teachers were leaving school as the incident unfolded. Morrow added that the agents were hitting people after they were already on the ground and using some kind of chemical irritant.
