An employee at a Colorado Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center allegedly shot a female protester Thursday night while trying to get to work.
Brandon Booth, 42, an employee of the GEO Group, which operates the Aurora ICE Processing Center in Colorado, was waiting in his car on a nearby street with other workers as a demonstration blocked their access to the facility, according to police.
Two female protesters reportedly instigated a verbal confrontation and took pictures of the detention center employees’ cars before walking away.
Booth then allegedly fired a single shot towards the direction of the two protesters, striking one of them on her lower body, before driving away from the scene.
He was arrested two blocks away and police believe the firearm used in the shooting was Booth’s personally owned pistol.
He was slapped with charges of assault and attempted second-degree murder in relation to the shooting near the detention center, CBS News reported.
One woman, who police described as a protester, suffered a gunshot wound to her lower body and is being treated at a local hospital.

Can the employee sue her for the cost of the one round?
I wonder if the “protesters” use racist or “fighting words”.
“I was in fear for my life as the woman made imminent threats of violence. And I want my attorney.”
Shooting a commie is something I personally would not do until it becomes legalized in CWII.
There were protester at the local Walmart today complaining about a monarchy, elections and so forth. I did flip them off as I drove by.
Guess the age group? All gray haired lefties from the hippie era.
He should say he was shooting at a mountain lion and it must’ve ricocheted.
Most likely.
So do I.
Those senile hippie losers have way too much time on their hands.
This is not good if the facts are true.

Justified? Not justified? If this is anything like the recent ones it’s justified.

Wannabe Rambo.

an off-duty Aurora ICE Processing Center employee was involved in a shooting incident,
Turn about is fair play. You shoot conservatives, conservatives shoot back in the same manner.
“I’m guessing they left out a detail or two.”
She had just moved to the area with her lesbian lover and she was dropping her kid off at school when he shot her for no reason.
