Jan. 8 (UPI) -- A man and a woman said to be gang members are hospitalized after allegedly trying to ram a federal officer, who then used his firearm in self-defense during a targeted stop in Portland, Ore., on Thursday afternoon.
The Portland Police Bureau said local officers responded to a shooting report made at 2:18 p.m. PST and went to the 10200 block of Southeast Main Street in southeast Portland.
Responding officers confirmed that federal officers were involved in a shooting there, but local police were not.
The two are members of Tren de Aragua, and one was the target of a federal law enforcement action, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Sec. Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement shared with UPI.
