"A U.S. deputy marshal and a suspect were wounded by gunfire Tuesday morning, Oct. 21, during a traffic stop in South Los Angeles that turned violent during the capture of an accused undocumented immigrant, according to federal officials. The shooting was reported about 8:50 a.m. in the 400 block of East 20th Street, said Officer Luis Alanis, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
"ICE officers and U.S. deputy marshals pulled over an undocumented resident who had previously escaped from custody, Tricia McLaughlin, an assistant secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement. The suspect then rammed his car into law enforcement vehicles and tried to flee, McLaughlin said. Officers fired weapons and hit the suspect in the elbow, she said, with the marshal getting hit in a hand by a ricocheting bullet. Both the officer and the suspect were taken to a hospital."
