Undocumented immigrant, officer hurt in shooting during targeted enforcement stop

An undocumented immigrant and a law enforcement officer were wounded after officers opened fire during a targeted enforcement traffic stop in Los Angeles, a DHS official said. The immigrant allegedly tried to evade arrest by ramming a law enforcement vehicle, prompting “defensive shots” that struck him in the elbow. A ricochet bullet hit an officer in the hand; multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News the officer was a U.S. marshal. Both were taken to the hospital. DHS said the immigrant had previously escaped custody.
