’s incoming CEO Michael Fiddelke told employees Monday that the “violence and loss of life in our community is incredibly painful,” following the second fatal shooting by federal agents in the company’s hometown of Minneapolis in recent weeks.
“I know it’s weighing heavily on many of you across the country, as it is with me,” he said in a video message sent to the big-box retailer’s workforce. “What’s happening affects us not just as a company, but as people, as neighbors, friends and family members within Target.”
In the video, Fiddelke did not name the two U.S. citizens killed in the shootings, Renee Good or Alex Pretti, describe the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during the enforcement surge in Minneapolis or call for any specific policy changes. He also did not mention President Donald Trump or his administration.
