Overview
- The shooting happened around 7 p.m. during a targeted Enforcement and Removal Operations action near North Sixth Street and North 24th Avenue, according to officials.
- Officials said a Venezuelan man was struck in the leg and is expected to be OK, while an ICE officer was also taken to a hospital with injuries that were not immediately detailed.
- Homeland Security reported the officer was hit with a shovel and then attacked by two others wielding a snow shovel and a broom handle, prompting what it called defensive shots.
- After being shot, the man fled into a residence that officials later determined housed three additional targets; all four barricaded themselves until an ICE tactical team breached the home, and authorities believe all were taken into custody.
- A large crowd gathered with confrontations reported, and Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Brian O’Hara urged calm in a late-night briefing while criticizing the federal deployment.
