An ICE officer, fearing for his life,' shoots California motorist

"A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot a driver on a residential Ontario street on Thursday morning, Oct. 30, after the man pulled his SUV ahead of ICE and then went into reverse, attempting to run the officers over, federal officials said. The man, a U.S. citizen, was struck by gunfire on his shoulder, family members later told the Southern California News Group. His family identified him as Carlos Jimenez, 24, of Ontario."

"The suspect attempted to run officers over by reversing directly at them without stopping, McLaughlin said in a statement. An ICE officer, fearing for his life, fired defensive shots at the vehicle. The driver abandoned his vehicle and fled, McLaughlin said. The discrepancy between that statement and Jimenez's brothers' account that he drove his car home could not immediately be reconciled."

An ICE officer shot a driver on a residential street in Ontario on Oct. 30 after the driver reportedly pulled ahead of an ICE vehicle and then reversed toward officers. The driver, identified by family as 24-year-old U.S. citizen Carlos Jimenez, was struck in the shoulder and taken to a hospital by a family member. Photographs show blood inside the Lexus and a partially shattered rear passenger window. ICE and a DHS spokesperson said the driver attempted to run officers over, prompting defensive gunfire. Family members say Jimenez drove the car home; that discrepancy remains unresolved. DHS and the FBI are investigating.
