News - Undocumented immigrant and officer hurt in shooting during targeted enforcement stop

An undocumented immigrant and a law enforcement officer were wounded when officers fired during a targeted enforcement traffic stop in Los Angeles, according to a Department of Homeland Security official. The immigrant allegedly attempted to evade arrest by using his vehicle to ram a law enforcement vehicle, prompting officers to fire "defensive shots," striking him in the elbow, the DHS official said. A law enforcement officer was also struck in the hand by a ricochet bullet, the official said. Multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News that the officer was a U.S. marshal. Both individuals were transported to the hospital, the official said. DHS said the undocumented immigrant "had previously escaped from custody." "Resisting arrest puts the safety of illegal aliens, law enforcement, and the public at risk," the official said. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
