Authorities begged for help trying to contain a “hostile” crowd just moments after Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, frantic 911 calls and incident reports show.

Transcripts of the calls and reports, which were released late Thursday and obtained by the New York Times, shed light on the chaos that unfolded as Minneapolis cops and fire units rushed to the scene of the Jan. 7 shooting.

“Need crowd control and area blocked off,” one report said at 9:47 a.m. — just minutes after paramedics arrived and started treating the 37-year-old anti-ICE protester.

“Crowd getting hostile,” another report noted three minutes later.

At 10:07 a.m., authorities reported: “Contact who is in charge of feds and have them leave scene.”

But reports flooded in roughly an hour later that federal agents were “being surrounded.”

The unruly crowd only calmed when all ICE agents had left the scene at about 11:30 a.m., according to the reports.

Meanwhile, a flurry of calls also came through to 911 dispatchers as frantic witnesses described the moment immigration agent Jonathan Ross opened fire after Good clipped him with her SUV during a tense standoff, the transcripts show.

An incident report from the Minneapolis Fire Department found that Good was shot four times — in the chest, arm and head, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.

“There’s 15 ICE agents, and they shot her, like, because she wouldn’t open her car door,” one 911 caller said.

“I witnessed it,” another caller said, adding that a blood-soaked Good “tried to drive away, but crashed into the nearest vehicle that was parked.”

Another called begged: “Send an ambulance please. Ambulance, please.”

One dispatcher told a caller at one point that “lots of help” was en route.

When EMS arrived, they discovered the mom of three unresponsive in her car with blood on her face and torso, according to one incident report.

First responders observed two gunshot wounds on the right side of Good’s chest, one on her left forearm, and one “with protruding tissue on the left side of the patient’s head” — as blood poured out of her left ear, the report stated.

The details emerged after graphic footage from the scene had earlier shown Good appearing to try to flee the ICE officers after she was accused of blocking the street and impeding an enforcement operation.

Good clipped the agent with her car before Ross fired multiple shots through her windshield and open window, the feds said.

The Department of Homeland Security maintains the agent opened fire in self-defense.
