"Customs and Border Patrol agents shot and injured two people in Portland, Ore., on Thursday, one day after an Immigrations Custom and Enforcement agent shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis. Reactions to the shootings, from public protests to online arguments, reflect a deep divide in how they're seen as tragic abuses of power or law enforcement officers acting in self-defense."
"Less than 10 minutes later, Portland officers responded to a call several miles away from a man who had been shot and was requesting help, Portland Chief of Police Bob Day said in a news conference. "We found a male and a female with apparent gunshot wounds," Day said. "Officers applied a tourniquet and summoned emergency medical personnel." The pair were taken to a local hospital and officers determined that they were wounded in the shooting involving federal agents, Day said."
Two people were shot and injured by Customs and Border Protection agents in Portland during a targeted vehicle stop, one day after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis. The shooting occurred shortly after 2:15 p.m. in the Hazelwood neighborhood, and FBI Portland confirmed CBP involvement. Portland officers found a male and female with apparent gunshot wounds; officers applied a tourniquet and summoned emergency medical personnel, and the victims were taken to a local hospital. A Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman said the driver attempted to run over agents, prompting a defensive shot, and alleged gang affiliation without providing evidence.
