A car drove into a group of protesters in Minneapolis late Sunday killing a woman who had taken to the streets over the shooting death of Winston Smith by sheriff’s deputies.

The Marshals Service said in an earlier statement that Smith, who was in a parked vehicle, didn’t comply with law enforcement and "produced a handgun resulting in task force members firing upon the subject.".

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said Friday that two sheriff’s deputies — one from Hennepin County and one from Ramsey County — fired their weapons, striking Smith

The state investigators also said evidence indicates Smith fired his gun, saying a handgun and spent cartridge were found inside the car

The woman who was with Smith at the time said through an attorney that she never saw a gun inside the vehicle at any time
