Overview
- ICE officers and U.S. Marshals boxed in a vehicle around 8:50 a.m. on East 20th Street to detain a person who had previously escaped custody.
- DHS says the driver rammed law enforcement vehicles, prompting agents to fire, with the suspect hit in the elbow and a deputy injured by a ricochet.
- A law enforcement source told CNN investigators believe an ICE agent’s gun discharged after the agent smashed a window and tried to grab the suspect.
- The U.S. Marshals Service reports the deputy’s injuries are non-life-threatening and stable, while the suspect’s condition remains disputed.
- LAPD provided traffic control only, and a brief lockdown at nearby Santee High School was lifted as the multi-agency investigation continues.
