Deputy Marshal Hurt, Suspect Shot in ICE Stop

During a Tuesday morning immigration operation in South Los Angeles, a deputy U.S. marshal was wounded by a ricochet from an ICE officer’s gun after agents boxed in a suspect who authorities say tried to ram their vehicle. The man, described by DHS as having previously escaped custody, was shot in the elbow; the deputy was hit in the hand. Both were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The confrontation drew tense onlookers near Santee Education Complex. The Office of Inspector General, Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI are investigating.
