ICE agent shot and wounded man in Austin, Texas, officials say

A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and wounded a man on Sunday afternoon in Austin, Texas. The shooting occurred on the city's north side, shortly before 1 pm local time. The man was shot once in the torso and was in serious but stable condition at a hospital.

According to Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis, local police officers were not involved in the operation or the shooting. The Austin Police Department's special investigation unit was at the scene, and the city's mayor, Kirk Watson, said he wants the police department to be part of the investigation to provide "clear, third-party eyes".

A dark blue Toyota Corolla was found at the scene with damage to its passenger-side door and what appeared to be bullet holes. One city council member, Mike Siegel, alleged that an ICE officer rammed the man's car and then opened fire at least five times, but this has not been confirmed by other sources.
