A U.S. marshal and a suspect were shot and wounded Tuesday morning, Oct. 21, during a traffic stop in South Los Angeles, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The shooting was reported about 8:50 a.m. in the 400 block of East 20th Street, according to Officer Luis Alanis, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
ICE officers and U.S. 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 had 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 the hand by a ricocheting bullet.
Both the officer and suspect were taken to a hospital.
