An investigation is ongoing after immigration agents shot at a man, injuring him and a deputy US marshal in the process on Tuesday morning during an immigration enforcement operation that took place in south Los Angeles, police said.
Reports from the Los Angeles police department said the incident was reported shortly before 9am and involved a federal agent being shot.
A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) statement given to Fox News later confirmed that the deputy marshal and a man suspected of illegal entry into the US were shot and injured during what DHS called a “targeted traffic stop”.
