One witness said the vehicle wasn't moving toward the agents. However, federal officials said ICE officers were "conducting targeted operations" when "rioters" blocked officers.
One of the "rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them."
Officials said an ICE officer who was "fearing for his life" fired "defensive shots" to save himself and his officers, killing the woman.
