Two people were shot by federal agents in Portland, Oregon on Thursday, Portland police said. The Department of Homeland Security said the shooting involved Customs and Border Patrol agents.
Two people, a man and a woman, were wounded and hospitalized, Portland Police Chief Bob Day said in a news conference Thursday night. Their conditions were unknown and their names have not been released.
DHS said Border Patrol agents stopped a car searching for a Venezuelan they claim is in the country illegally and a member of the Tren de Aragua gang. DHS said after the agents identified themselves, the driver “weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.”
